The FSP book center of Concepcion has finally re-opened its doors to the public after suffering severe damage in the disastrous earthquake of 27 February 2010.
It took three months of hard labor to remove the rubble, replace the floor and repair the furnishings so that the center could once again carry out its mission, which, our Founder said, is to serve as ? a pulpit from which to proclaim the Good News of Jesus?.
The inauguration of the renovated center opened with a Eucharistic Celebration presided over by the Archbishop of the diocese, Ricardo Ezzati, who then proceeded to bless the new locale.
On hand to celebrate this joyous moment with the community were representatives of the whole Pauline Family, as well as friends and clients, many of whom offered our sisters both moral and economic support during the difficult rebuilding period.
We thank the our sisters of Concepcion for their courage, faith and hard work during these past months and offer them and all the members of our Chilean Delegation our very best wishes as they begin this new stage of their journey.
