The task of the General Council is to regularly visit the districts. We spent the past two weeks
in Romania. Our sisters held their district assembly in Cluj/ Kolozsvár on the last days of
August. The closing mass took place in the ancient little church (built in the 13 th century) of
Vlaha/ Magyarfenes near Cluj and it was followed by the blessing of the community’s new
project nearby, the House of Silence, a place dedicated for spiritual programs serving both the
sisters and others who seek a place for spiritual renewal.
Rich visits followed: we saw our Sr. Maria Sescu in Moldavia, we spent time with our sisters
in Miercurea Ciuc/ Csíkszereda, and in Cluj/ Kolozsvár, and we met representatives of the
local Churches.
