This retreat was also a preparation to start with all the faithful the year of St. Paul.
The Celebration of the Eucharist in honour of Our Lady Consolata and the renewal of our vows were the center of the meeting.
Then we shared information and we spoke about the opening of the Theological Student House in Merrivale, Archdiocese of Durban, by the end of this year. It is also important the commitment of all of us as Missionary and Vocation Animators in the Christian communities where we work and beyond.
By the end of our stay together, we also proposed to the General Direction the names to be considered for the appointment of the superior for the Delegation of South Africa.
Leaving Pax Christi Pastoral Centre, is still resounding in our minds the Benedictus antiphon of today, Wednesday of the fourth week of the Psalter, "Let us serve the Lord in holiness all our days".
