Sts. Anne & Joachim

FOCAL POINT:

“The Congregation desires that one of our principal external mortifications will be that we carry out our apostolic labors faithfully and zealously. Also, we will be ready to accept sickness, other human limitations and the demands of common life with patience and submission to the will of God.” (Con. 82)

Deceased:

Fr. Cornelius Siegfried, 1989, Waterloo, Canada

Ordination:

Fr. Edson Siqueira da Silva, 2008, Brazil

1. For our deceased members and benefactors, for all the faithful departed, and for the one who will die first among us.

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“It was Bogdan Janski’s dream that both the laity and the consecrated religious would work together for the resurrection of society – each in their own way, proper to their vocation.” (Apostles of the Resurrection Handbook, 3)
