Visit of the Prioress General to the community of Trois-Rivières (Guadeloupe)

From 27 February to 15 March 2026, the Prioress General and Sr Paulina Ogbonnaya visited our community in Trois Rivières, Guadeloupe.

The community currently is composed of 12 sisters, 4 of whom are very elderly and bedridden. This does not, however, prevent the community from continuing to live out Mother Gérine’s charism in Guadeloupe.

The visit to the community was an opportunity to share daily life and the mission with the sisters, to have community meetings for formation and exchange, and to support the Prioress in her service.

Sr Viviana and Sr Paulina also took part in the various activities the sisters carry out: the animation of the weekly Mass in the house chapel, moments of prayer with the people of the parish, and a meeting with the group of lay people who meet periodically and are interested in deepening their understanding of Mother Gérine’s charism. Finally, two sisters continue to carry out some activities in the parish of the nearby town of Capesterre, where we had a community in the past.

Sr Viviana e sr Paulina visited the two schools in Le Moule for which the Congregation is responsible (la Tutelle) : the “St. Joseph” primary school and the Collège- Lycée “St. Dominique”.

Finally, there was a fruitful meeting with the Bishop of Guadeloupe – Monsignor Philippe Guiougou – with whom we discussed the future of religious life in Guadeloupe and, specifically, that of our community.
