MEGVIS 2003.

In the week after Easter, 85 participants came together for the annual MEGVIS (Central European Vincentian Studies Group) meeting. They came from nine western and central European countries. These meetings have been held for more than 20 years and are organized by the Provinces of Austria, Germany and the Netherlands. Because many provinces are celebrating a jubilee this year, the main theme of the meeting was the foundation of the Congregation of the Mission and the Daughters of Charity and their establishment in Austria 150 years ago (1853). Sr. Alfonsa Richartz, DC, gave a talk on both these themes. Among others themes, they also spoke about Blessed Durando and about the actual situation of the mission in China.
