We were privileged to have Dr Christina Kheng speak to us from Singapore on "Synodality and religious life in practice: Working together in Communion and Mission". Lots of enthusiasm and food for thought with many practical suggestions coming from our shared Ignatian spirituality.

Dr Kheng is a laywoman from Singapore member of the Synod's Methodology Commission. She teaches at the East Asian Pastoral Institute in Manila and her research focuses on inter-disciplinary methods for church-society dialogue.#fcjsisters #hopeandjoy #IndonesianAdventure ... See MoreSee Less

Our gathering was addressed by Sr Maria Cimperman RSCJ, professor, author, and coordinator of a new initiative which aims to support the members of UISG International Union of Superiors General in living the #Synodal commitment. Here is a quote from her talk which has helped us reflect on how our FCJ charism invites us today to fully committed lives of love and service together:

"Charisms are dynamic and the Spirit is constantly communicating with us in specific realities about where to offer our gifts. Each new person who joins contributes to the charism… How is the charism calling us today?" ... See MoreSee Less

Did you know that the first group of FCJ sisters arrived in Australia on 1 June 1882?

In our 135th year, we recognise and celebrate the Twelve sisters, from Ireland and England, who disembarked from the SS Liguria at Sandridge (Port Melbourne) after a voyage from England that lasted six weeks. They were missioned in response to an urgent call to help with the education of Catholic children in Australia. It wasn't until a few years later, in 1889, that Genazzano FCJ College was established.Our Stained Glass in the d'Houët foyer is a constant reminder of this significant part of our history. ...
