I find myself often drawn to sit in chapel and gaze at the crib in these days following Christmas when the pace of life slows a little.

May peace fill our hearts, may peace fill our world…
Jesus is our hope. Nothing—not even evil or death—is able to separate us from the saving power of his love.
Messengers Publications have just published "Living the Camino Back Home". The authors Brendan McManus sj and Katherine O'Flynn fcJ were interviewed about their book by BBC, Radio Ulster's Sunday Sequence.

September 8 marked the anniversary of the first vows Sr Imelda, a member of the FCJ community in Turin. Her first vows were taken in our former chapel in Via Lanfranchi.
