Nearly 40 participants gathered at Holy Family Parish in Leominster, Massachusetts, earlier this month for a meaningful morning of prayer, reflection and community hosted by Presentation sisters and associates in New England.
Father Julio Granados served as keynote speaker, offering reflections on justice and hope in the light of the Gospel. He reminded participants that hope begins when we stop looking at our needs and turn to Christ and that justice means giving all people the dignity that belongs to the children of God.
The gathering also included time for prayerful conversation and reflection, as well as Associate Paula Kistler sharing her journey to becoming an associate.
It was a blessed day and the first of many invitations to gather in local parishes as we continue to keep Nano’s Lantern lit in our hearts, our lives and wherever we are called to serve.
