Community in Limburg
The Pallottine Sisters of the German Province had the great joy of looking back with gratitude on the lives of ten jubilarians - 70, 65, 60 and 50 years of profession, a celebration for our community. The Solemn Mass was celebrated in the Provincial Chapel on Saturday Evening, 14 August by Auxiliary Bishop of Limburg Dr. Thomas Löhr, who is very attached to the Pallottine Family. His sermon encouraged us to never stop contributing our charism to the Church. The festivity was heightened by the wonderful singing of an ensemble of eight singers from the Limburg Cathedral Choir. And the fact that the Jubilee celebrations fell during the time of the visitation of our Superior General Sr. Izabela Świerad and her General Vicar Sr. Josephina D'Souza was another highlight and joy. All together we honored the Jubilarians and, looking at their biographies, joyfully thanked God for calling them to be missionaries in our Congregation.
From August 2 to 16, our Superior General Sr. Izabela Świerad SAC and our Vicar General Sr. Josephina D'Souza SAC came to Germany for the visitation. Most of the time they spent in Limburg. During the weekend of August 7-8, they visited the Sisters in Refrath.
On February 16th, the General Government held a meeting via Zoom with the Provincial Government of the German Province: Sr. Astrid Meinert, Provincial Superior, Sr. Maria Landsberger, Vicar, and Councillors: Sr. Adelheid Scheloske, Sr. Ursula Schmitz and Sr. Simone Hachen. The meeting took place on the liturgical feast of Blessed Elisabetta Sanna; because of Ash Wednesday, it had been moved to the previous day. The meeting began with a report presenting the current situation of the communities, each of them marked by old age.

* Our Way of Life *
"Our diverse talents and abilities, our differences in culture, nationality and age are assets for the richness of the community. Although we may be engaged in a variety of ministries, we all share the common call to apostolic discipleship in a community of the Catholic Apostolate of St. Vincent Pallotti."(OWL, 91)

"As a community of disciples we are gathered around Jesus, the Apostle of the Eternal Father. Like the first disciples, we want to be with Jesus, be sent out by him and return to him to evaluate our service in the light of his presence." (OWL, 88)

"As Pallottines, it is our special charism to foster growth in faith and love among the laity, to awaken them to awareness of their apostolic call, and to cooperate with them in furthering the apostolic mission." (OWL, 21)

"Our relationships with one another should be marked by a love that bears all, believes all and hopes for all, a love that is neither conceited nor jealous, which hurts no one, nor is embittered or resentful. It is never discouraged but remains patient and kind. It rejoices with others and shares their suffering. It is with this kind of love that we should help and support one another." (OWL, 90)
