On 21–22 July, pilgrims from 19 countries gathered at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Paray-Le-Monial, France. Highlights included the Way of the Heart procession, group sharing in the meadows, and Eucharistic Adoration at St. Claude La Colombière’s chapel — moments that deepened the global commitment to the PWPN mission.
In early August, the ministry’s presence grew in India. At the Poona Diocese, Provincial Fr. Agnelo Mascarenhas, SJ, hosted gatherings where Fr. Xavier Tharamel shared about PWPN & EYM. Msgr. Roque Alphonso soon appointed Fr. Sandeep as Diocesan Director, a major step for the network. Tharamel also addressed FMM, MC Sisters, and diocesan formees.
Another milestone was the National Executive Meeting held at Prasanthi, Wayanad (Kerala)
from 19 August, bringing together coordinators from Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand, Patna, and Bombay Provinces to strengthen national-level collaboration. These encounters mark a time of renewal, expansion, and reimagining for PWPN & EYM in service of the Church’s mission .
