Christmas 2024: “Moments of Joy”

Christmas is a time of joy and connection, a time of togetherness and personal encounter – and a time to look back on the defining events of the year. All of this is expressed in the following video, which summarizes some of the many beautiful shared moments during the 21st International General Chapter of the Hospital Sisters of St. Francis in Muenster in September 2024. With this view “behind the scenes”, the Generalate wishes all Sisters worldwide, all employees and all those who share a connection to the Congregation a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year, which will hopefully bring more peace around the world. May you be blessed, and experience many moments of joy in 2025!
