Christmas letter for IrelandDear sisters of Ireland,
As Saint Claudine, we want to be women of communion. So, in this time of the year in which Jesus decided to come and be among us, we also want to be with you. We were pleased to read in the web site of the Congregation about your mission in the report of the visitation to your province at the end of 2015. We give thanks to God for the blessings which the people of Ireland receive through you. We wish you to continue giving the best in your mission.
We want now to share with you a bit of our mission. We are 9 RJM compromised in the work of our small Jesus and Mary school of 385 pupils: 205 boys and 185 girls between 12 and 17 years. We want to share a few pictures taken during the celebrations of what we call here: The Jesus and Mary week. Every year we have this week with many activities. It is a type of festival during which the classes have activities related to Jesus and Mary’s countries. Since we have 14 classes, every class receives a country and this year, your country has been chosen.

On Christmas 2017, God still wants to live and visit us… especially in our most obscure “nooks” … This is where God comes to save us! And as Saint Claudine Thévenet, our foundress, may you be people of FAITH, FORGIVENESS and COMMUNION!
