A surprise visit
Surprises especially when it is never expected is really a thrilling thing. Imagine the wonder and shock of our sisters gathered for the General Chapter got a visit from the Holy Father. The chapter members were told that that they would receive a virtual greeting from the Pope because it was not possible for them to attend a private audience at the Vatican. Awaiting the virtual message on 22nd October 2021, they were surprised and overjoyed to see Pope Francis in person! What a blessing to have our Holy Father in our Salesian home!
