From September 1st to 10th, Putri-Putri Yesus, Indonesia community was graced by Sr. Emelinda C Falsis, (Sr Lynn) our beloved Provincial Superior, who embarked on a canonical visit to Indonesia. This visit was a time of deep reflection, spiritual renewal, and strengthening of our religious community's bonds.

During her stay, Sr Lynn engaged in heartfelt conferences with the sisters focusing on the core aspects of our  Constitutions (CFI). Our reflections centered around our prayer and community life, emphasizing the importance of mutual support, understanding, and love within our community.

Significant emphasis was placed on our vows, particularly the vow of poverty, reminding us of its transformative power in our lives and its role in serving the poor and the marginalized.

The encounter with the aspirants…..Here are some of their impressions…”Her canonical visit gives us enlightenment and encouragement to continue growing in our formation. We are grateful and joyful for her presence. Thank you Sr Lynn for all the support. “--- The aspirants.
