To celebrate the Centenary of Foundation of the Pauline Cooperators Association, the Daughters of St. Paul of the Colombia-Ecuador Province joined forces with an Annunciationist and several Pauline Cooperators to carry out a mission in San Vicente del Caguàn Parish on the feast of its patroness, Our Lady of Mercy. During the mission, 5 radio programs that the FSPs had prepared on the theme of reconciliation were aired by the Vicariate’s broadcasting station, Echoes of Caguàn. The hour-long programs helped to reinforce the proposal of the Colombian Episcopal Conference, which is inviting all the faithful to reflect more deeply on the theme of forgiveness and put it into practice. The transmissions gave the missionary team a golden opportunity to broaden its range of activity by extending it to the many people living in rural areas.

At the end of this apostolic experience, our sisters write: “The Lord brought us in contact with countless people who have lived through years of guerrilla warfare in Colombia. He granted us the grace to see their faith and fortitude, listen to them, talk to them, share the Word of God with them and also participate in Eucharistic Celebrations organized for their benefit.”
