'On my part I can tell you that I found the happiness one can find here on earth, by
belonging to an organization that so directly works for salvation.'
belonging to an organization that so directly works for salvation.'
- Victoria Diez (1903-1936)
To celebrate the life of Blessed Victoria Diez, the members of the Association got together at Devika Apartments on 12th August. The threat of the prevalent swine flu did not deter people coming from near and far to join in this moment of thanksgiving.
The evening began with prayer led by Veera Veigas, with a reading from John 21:17-19 and a litany of thanksgiving for the gift of Victoria, interspersed with beautiful hymns.
Agosh Librea then through a well illustrated power-point, presented the insirational life of Victoria. It was both insightful and provoking to live our mission fuller.
Vereene, Goretti and Anna then sang a Spanish song 'Cry of Victory' written by Ellia after each member present received a quote from Victoria.
Pot luck brought us banana cake and croquette, cookies, chips and cold drinks along with Anna's signature flan!
Blessed Victoria Diez, pray for us.
