  Sr Sister Claire Houareau,Superior General.

• Dear Sisters, I am happy to join you on this first day of May, a day on which we also remember our Patron, St Joseph the worker
• We are very aware of all those competent, wholehearted and devoted people working everywhere. We also remember those who are overburdened. Nor do we forget the many who have no work and can no longer support themselves, their families, especially the children ….. There are so many intentions! This is also an opportunity to take another look at how we do our own work, that it may always be a "humble service" for our brothers and sisters according to the example of St Joseph, as Anne Marie Javouhey used to say.
• This morning we celebrated the dedication in the Mother House of our chapel (built in 1860). Many generations of Sisters have passed through it, prayed in it, made profession and celebrated jubilees…..We thought of you all.
• I am preparing to fly to Peru on May 7th next. I confide myself to your prayers and know I can count on each one of you. May our Blessed Lady unite us more and more in this beautiful month of May!
