We continue walking in the path of Hope, allowing ourselves to be inspired by new testimonies from the , stories of women religious who bring hope to communities around the world.

In a spirit of communion, Sr. Giovanna’s mission recalls the importance of “removing one’s shoes, because the place you are standing on is sacred.”
