For many of us, it\u2019s a real reunion! Some haven\u2019t seen each other since leaving the Mother House in 2022-2023. Today is a time for celebration and appreciation. In the morning, we take the time to greet each other, talk about events that have happened since our last meeting, and visit our sick sisters. <\/p>\n<p>At midday, we sit in the dining room where a delicious lunch waits for us. The atmosphere is cheerful, simple, and fraternal. <\/p>\n<p>Around 2 p.m., we head to the chapel for a moment of gratitude and to celebrate the start of Sister Gis\u00e8le Patenaude\u2019s term and her new Council. <\/p>\n<p>At first, each local community highlights in its own way the generosity, simplicity, warmth, and dedication with which Sister Ang\u00e8le Dion carried out her work during a time of major changes. Then, after invoking the Holy Spirit and praying Psalm 26, we celebrate the rite of passing on the service of authority. Sister Ang\u00e8le gives Sister Gis\u00e8le the lit candle, symbolizing her new role. In turn, Sister Gis\u00e8le shares the flame with her councilors: our sisters Francine Babin, assistant, Louise Beno\u00eet, Sylvie Dubois, and Marie-Marthe Laram\u00e9e. <\/p>\n<p>The celebration ends with the song &#8216;It\u2019s Like a Fire&#8217; and the Salve Regina. It\u2019s already time to say goodbye! We won\u2019t be forgetting this wonderful community day anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/soeurs-de-la-presentation-de-marie.org\/pom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/09.-Conseil-26-1-750x510.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"510\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-37656\" \/>ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 17, 2026, the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary of Quebec are heading to Sherbrooke to welcome our new Provincial, Sister Gis\u00e8le Patenaude, and her Council.
