Report on the 200th Anniversary of the Birth of Blessed Marie-Rose Durocher
(IN FRENCH)


18 octobre 2011 --
Declaration at the National Assembly of Quebec by Mrs. Marie Malavoy, Member for Taillon,
on the occasion of the 200th Anniversary of the Blessed Marie-Rose Durocher

(IN FRENCH)

Moved by the same fire for mission of our foundress,
Marie Rose Durocher, we minister on three continents.

Seeking to meet unmet needs,
especially among people who are poor
and marginalized,
we serve in a broad range of ministries.

We provide educational opportunities
to diverse cultures,       
to women striving to build new lives,
to children and youth
    for their full development
    as human persons,
and to all people who seek spiritual
    and emotional growth.

We dare to dance justice in the face of oppression,
reverence in the face of exploitation,
beauty in the face of brokenness,
tenderness in the face of violence.
And in the face of doubt and death,
we dance our belief in the living God.

  (Acts of the 31st General Chapter)
