Reflections from 2018

Centre International St. Joseph: Sisters of St. Joseph

5/12/2018

Four nights of our trip will be spent at the Centre International St. Joseph in Le Puy. At first thought, the “Centre International” might sound like an industrial structure, but I think you will be pleasantly surprised with its quaint nature. It is important that we be aware of the Center's enduring mission and contributions. The Center was officially opened on October 15, 2004 with the purpose of igniting hearts with the sisters mission.

The Centre International clearly states their mission on their website:
​

“Embracing the past, we study and deepen our awareness of our history, tradition, and spirituality to ensure the preservation of our 'story' for future generations.
Nurturing the present, we engage Sisters of St. Joseph, associates, and lay partners in deepening their understanding of our mission and charism; we do this within an international setting and with a global focus.
Creating a new future, we interpret our charism in light of today’s world, and informed with this new understanding, help establish ways to incarnate the prayer ‘that all may be one,’ particularly among the young and in areas in need of reconciliation.”

In a world that seems constantly divided, the Center affirms the necessity and benefit of genuine encounter and communion with one another through different offered programs. The Center envisions a world that is not defined by the differences among us, rather strives for unity and common purpose--strives to foster relationship and give people the opportunity to understand and interpret the charism of the Sisters of St. Joseph.

Not only is the Center's mission beautiful, but its location is beautiful as well! The Center has two main buildings situated on grassy fields near the peaceful Borne River. The area is nothing short of picturesque and charming--the perfect place for meaningful reflection.

Check out some pictures below! More information about the Centre and its mission can be found here.

    Hello everyone! I’m so happy you’re here. My name is Tatiana Belanich and I’m the writer for the Le Puy Pilgrimage blog. I’m a junior at St. Joseph’s College Long Island campus and a double major in Journalism and Religious Studies. I am also an intern with ACSSJ and will be participating in the pilgrimage this June. I hope my articles will be fun and informative, but most importantly a reminder of the mission of this trip. St. Augustine once said, "The world is a great book, of which they that never stir from home read only a page." There is so much beauty to be explored and so much goodness to be experienced if only we would step out of our comfort zone. I hope you will follow us on our journey as we take these steps to respond to the stirrings of our hearts and attempt to read the many chapters the world has to offer. ​
