IWE continued in Tutzing

On May 26, the participants of the International Weeks of Encounter left Rome to Tutzing to see and experience the places of origin of our Congregation, the Motherhouse in Tutzing and St. Ottilien.

They were well received by the Motherhouse Community. After an introduction and house tour, they visited already on Saturday May 27 Haus St. Benedikt, the house of the retired missionaries.

It was so good to meet again after many years and to get to know each other.

On Pentecost Sunday the sisters participated actively in the Holy Mass of the parish St. Joseph in Tutzing making the Holy Spirit palpable, who unites people of different cultures and backgrounds.

They shared their own experiences of Church from their local context…

and enriched the liturgy with an offertory dance.

On Monday they visited the community in Bernried.

On several evenings supper was served outside together with the motherhouse community.

It was a chance to get to know each other better and share cultural expressions.

Bavarian evening

On a round trip through the alps, the sisters could see the beautiful landscape

and other remarkable places like here Linderhof.

One day was reserved for a visit to St. Ottilien,

the place where our congregation had its beginning after a short time in Reichenbach and where our Founder Fr. Andreas Amrhein was laid to rest.
