Canonical and Financial Visitation to the Córdoba Community, at the Service of the Educational Mission

From June 2 to 8, Priscilla and Lidia carried out the canonical and financial visitation to the community and school in Córdoba, Argentina.

The Córdoba School community is made up of three sisters with perpetual vows and three sisters with temporary vows. It is an intercultural and intergenerational community whose main mission is to participate in and animate the pastoral ministry of Padre Claret School.

It was a time of profound joy, not only because of all that was shared with the sisters, but also because of the opportunity to draw closer to and experience the educational mission in its daily reality. We witnessed the generous dedication, evangelizing commitment, and care with which the integral growth of children, adolescents, and young people is accompanied, all within a clearly claretian identity.

The meetings with the Leadership Team, the Administrative Team, and the Pastoral Team were valuable moments of listening, evaluation, and future planning. A gathering was also held with the entire educational community (teachers, administrative staff, and support personnel), during which the Mission, Vision, and Values of the claretian charism were explored in greater depth. We participated in several prayer moments and had the opportunity to engage in dialogue with sixth-grade primary students and secondary school students.

All these encounters made it possible to recognize and savour the fruits of an educational community that is journeying forward, with a clearly defined identity, committed to its evangelizing mission, and open to the challenges of the present and the future.

As a gift and symbol of the visit, the national ceibo tree was planted with the participation of the entire educational community. It stands as a sign of a community that cares for and wishes to continue nurturing vocation, universal fraternity, and our common home, with the hope that it will grow and offer its beauty and blossoms as an expression of missionary transformation.
