Archive Treasures: International Eucharistic Congress 1976

A HandmaidDiamond Jubilee, HISTORY, News

(For more information visit: https://www.eucharisticrevival.org) As cloistered contemplatives we will only be attending in spirit. But in 1976 we were still a Diocesan Community with a semi-active rule and not yet, enclosed. So we had the honor and privilege of sending three Handmaids to represent the Community in the historic 41st International Eucharistic Congress.
