Marist Missionary Sisters who have made perpetual vows and are 50 years of age or younger have gathered in Tagaytay, near Manila in the Philippines, at the invitation of our Congregational Leader, Sr Georgeanne Marie. The purpose of this event, according to Sr Georgeanne, is "to help you, our 'younger' members to grow in your capacity to take up your role as members in our diverse congregation - members who will be carrying our SMSM charism into the future, animating and leading the congregation towards 2035 and 2040 ..." About 50 Sisters are participating in this event, held from Nov 25 to Dec 12th, 2014.
