Visit to Portieux
Sister Marie-Philippe, Carole Agnès, Sister Marie-Ange and François Accili
On January 20th. 2021, Carole AGNES (our president) and François ACCILI (our communications officer) went to Portieux, to the headquarters of the Providence Congregation to meet Sister Marie-Philippe (former Superior for Vietnam) and Sister Marie-Ange (current Superior General of the Congregation).
Our organization is non-religious, but is represented in Kontum by Sisters of this Congregation, in whom we have total confidence. They are devoted to the poor, are honest and love children.
In Portieux we learnt some news which was very upsetting for us. Sister Innocentia will retire in the spring of this year. She arrived in Kontum in 1975 and has been working with our organization since 2002. We are sad that this real gem is leaving, we will miss her terribly; but she more than deserves her retirement, she will be 90 in 2021. Her calmness and her sound advice have been precious to us.
Sister Innocentia will retire to a convent in Cu Lao Gieng, an island in the middle of the Me Kong river just 50 kilometres from Cambodia.
Thanks to information exchanged during this visit, we have been able to contact Sister Chantal (Provincial Superior for Central Vietnam). She told us that two young nuns have been sent to Kontum and are currently being trained by Sister Anselme-Marie. We can’t wait to be able to go to Kontum to meet these two young nuns with whom we will be working in the future.
