Today more than ever, the words of our Founder St. Benedict Menni resonate powerfully: “Onward, Onward, Ever Onward”
On 24 April 2016, the new PROVINCE OF SPAIN, of the Congregation of the Sisters Hospitallers of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, will be established.
The high point of this historic event in our Institution will be the celebration of the Eucharist, delivered by Bishop José Luis Redrado O.H., in Ciempozuelos (Madrid, Spain), the motherhouse of the Congregation. In attendance, representing the General Government, will be the General Mother Superior, Anabela Carneiro; the Vicar and First General Councilor, María Asunción Ríopedre; and the General Secretary, Rosalía Goñi.
With the creation of the Province of Spain, canonically cease the Provinces of Madrid, Palencia and Barcelona. Nevertheless, the establishment of the new Province of Spain will not be a cause for us to forget our history; our goal now is not only to continue the life and mission of the three provinces, but to renew and revitalise it.
Throughout the years (70 for Palencia, 64 for Madrid, and 46 for Barcelona), God has staged a story of love, featuring sisters, collaborators, benefactors, volunteers, and the sick… He has accompanied us in our achievements and challenges, and today it is our turn to contemplate and give thanks. So let us look back at the history of the three provinces.
