March 8: International Women’s Day
Every March 8, we commemorate International Women’s Day, a day that invites us to reflect on the achievements, challenges and importance of the role of women in society. At Hermanas Hospitalarias, on this significant date, we honor two women who were pioneers in the care and attention to the most needy: the Venerable María Josefa Recio and María Angustias Giménez, our founders, who represent the feminine face of hospitality.
We celebrate the life of St. John of God, Patron Saint of nursing and firefighters.
Today we celebrate the Solemnity of St. John of God, founder of the Hospitaller Order. His legacy was an inspiration for St. Benedict Menni and is a beacon for all those who practice hospitality every day.
