On Friday 20th September, at the Monsignor Quércia-Canossianas College, in the city of Araras-BR, the family celebration was held with the theme: “Light up life: 250 years since the birth of Saint Magdalene of Canossa”.

The children of the nursery school and primary schools made various representations to show us the different cultures of the countries where the Canossian charism is present and alive.

It was a night of joy and discovery, because many did not know that our charism is present in the five continents.

The “family celebration” takes place every year in September to celebrate together the great gift of having a family to belong to… this year, however, was special because everyone understood that they can feel part of the Canossian family.

Each family was able to reflect and discover that they are called to light up life, like Saint Magdalene, in all the places they frequent, but always starting from the family environment.

Let us thank God for the wonderful celebration we had, through the intercession of Saint Magdalene of Canossa.
