Transition Session 2023

Bernard Ugeux and Helga…Franke…. Have been “giving” the “Transition” and “Senior” sessions for over 15 years.

Thank you to both of them for their dedication and expertise, which have helped so many brothers and sisters to live this adventure peacefully in their lives.

Now it’s Terry Madden and Hélène Mbuyamba’s turn to take up the torch by accompanying the participants in these sessions.

This year, the transition session was held in French. There were 7 participants. 4 people were not able to attend the session due to health or visa issues.

The participants were Gloria Sedes Alvarez, on mission in Chad; Kordula Weber, on mission in Karlsrgou, Germany; Marie-Christine Rousseau, on mission in Rome; Jacques Lacour in Paris, France; Jean Michel Laurent, in Bobo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso; Jean-Louis Godinot in Mours, France; and Jean Baptist Amona, in Kinshasa, DRC.

We cannot speak of this session without mentioning our deep gratitude for the contribution of the confreres of the Generalate and the MSOLA in Rome, our hosts and guides. In particular, we would like to mention the essential contribution of confreres Prosper and Olivier for the modules given, as well as Salvador and Vitus for their service in the audio-visual field. Without Luigi and Guy, we wouldn’t have been able to do even half the programme. We owe them a great deal for the preparation and running of the programme.

We thank God for this wonderful experience together.
