Chapel of our lady of hope
Our festivals
Celebrate - we always return to our origins, renewing our desire to live in the spirit of a family of unity and communion which is the sign of the Institution.
Celebrating is to remember everything the Lord has done and will still do for us and through us.
It is about finding God, who is Father and Mother.
A God who makes Himself flesh and blood, tears and smiles, injury and scars, in our personal and family history
A God who is present and who walks alongside us throughout history.
A God who lives in our hearts and compels us to realise the dream he has for each of us.
A God who gives us strength in difficult times and who allows us to benefit from brotherly encounters.
