1-4 October 2010. At the end of September, the FSPs from Hong Kong, Macau and traveled to Taipei to participate with the members of our Taiwan Delegation in a meeting to launch the Congregation’s new East Asia Delegation.

The 36 sisters (including one postulant and one aspirant) who will form the new Delegation speak 9 different languages and come from 12 different countries. In fact, their faces mirror their ethnic backgrounds: the youthful faces of those from Korea, Taiwan and China; the signs of self-donation that mark the faces of our sisters from Japan and the Philippines; the dynamic expressions of those from Singapore; the serene and smiling faces of those from India, and the cordial, competent expressions of our “white-haired” sisters from Italy and Brazil.

What unites them is their missionary passion and their openness to immense China, where they hope to initiate the Pauline apostolate in the name of the entire Congregation when “God’s hour” strikes. Let us accompany the group during these days of reflection, prayer, the sharing of ideas and decision-making–a time in which it is clearly evident that our boundaries are those of the entire world!
