Home of the Mother

The flow of activity at Our Lady of the Eagle Sanctuary in Alcalá de Guardaría, located near Seville, Spain is continuously showing signs of bearing fruit.

A group of girls from different parts of Spain came together with two communities of the Servant Sisters from Getafe and Valencia for the All Saints´ Day long-weekend vacation.  We had a get-together in Torrent, at the Dominican Mothers´ Bethlehem Monastery, which the Servant Sisters of the Home of the Mother are currently living in, close to Valencia, Spain.  We all had a great time!

Last Saturday, November 12, members and friends of the Home of the Mother in the Tampa Bay Area came together for their monthly Family Encounter.

Last weekend in the Jacksonville Resi, we held our annual “Holy-ween” party for high school/college-age girls.

On October 28-30th, the community of Servant Brothers in Urroz-Villa – located in the region of Navarra, Spain – had a get-together for young boys from Barcelona, Zaragoza, Ajo (Cantabria), Arroniz (Navarra); other Servant Brothers came along as well.

Last Sunday – October 30th – was a day full of graces and blessings for the Home of the Mother here in Lumezzane (Brescia), Italy.  Sunday began like any other Sunday: we went to Mass – this time at 9:30 – at our parish.  Afterwards, the Sisters went with a group of girls, aged 6 to 11, to the Don Rovetta Center in order to spend the day there.  All of the activities had for its theme the parable of the man who finds a treasure in the field, he hides it, and then later goes out and sells everything he has in order to buy that field.  We had time for prayer, reflecting on the parable before the Treasure: Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament.  We sang, danced, cooked, and ate…all together, as a family.  Later on, we had a scavenger hunt with teams; the goal was to find the treasure, which was Jesus in the Eucharist.  Once the scavenger hunt was over, five girls entered in the Home of the Mother for the first time – or renewed their commitments.  They were very happy to be a part of the gift that Our Lord wishes to make to His Mother, who is Our Mother as well!  Everyone went home happy after having spent the day together with Her.
