There the five Filipina and six Vietnamese novices, together with their formators, Sr. Lea Comia and Sr. Jacinta Duong journey together in intercultural novitiate formation surrounded by the serene atmosphere of the former convent of the Contemplatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their absence was keenly felt by the sisters at the 1043 compound in Quezon City, especially during Masses and special celebrations. Before the year ended, however, two joyful gatherings provided opportunities for fellowship and reunion with the novices, who warmly expressed their own joy at reconnecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In November, the sisters of the Provincialate Convent came for a visit. The gathering began with a Eucharistic celebration, followed by a fun and engaging get-to-know-you activity. Creative questions revealed each one\u2019s shallow and deep ends: <em>\u201cIf an alien came to earth, what would you want to tell or show them?\u201d<\/em> and <em>\u201cIf you were given a chance

Often, the excitement of the game far surpassed the simplicity of the gifts received. Meals shared featured both Vietnamese and Filipino cuisine: Vietnamese spring rolls and noodles for breakfast and seafood boodle fight for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In December, another moment of communion and celebration followed, as family members and friends gathered with the novices for Christmas celebration.
