Misericordia  Childhood

What is this group?

This group is made up of children who have attended our  Child  Development Centre.  

“Seeds of tomorrow”  (Semillas de Mañana)  welcomes children between the ages of 5 and 8;

“New dawn”  (Nuevo Amanecer)  welcomes  children  between the ages of 9 and 12;

“Let us continue to walk”  (Seguimons Caminando)  welcomes  teenagers between the ages of  13  and  16.

They meet once a month and the animators  of these groups  are young people  of Hope and Solidarity  (Esperanza y Solidaridad)  and  adults of groups  such as  Friends, Madre Rosalia Prayer Group or the Collaborators.  

At the age of 17, the teenagers are invited to move on  to  the group Hope and Solidarity.

Where the group is located

Misericordia  Childhood is  located  in Pascuales, Ecuador.

Vision  of the Animators’ Committe

Their vision is to look at each child  as one who  is growing  physically, psychologically  and spiritually. In order to do so,  they participate  in  the development of each one  by  accompanying them  so that they will become good Christians and good citizens.

Mission

Their mission is to create a  fraternal  atmosphere so  that each  child  can accept  himself  or herself  and accept others.  They prepare  the way  for them  so that they will become  bearers and messengers  of  God’s  mercy  and answer the  Lord’s  call to participate in the mission entrusted to the Misericordia Sisters.  

Objective

To become messengers of    LOVE, TENDERNESS and COMPASSION by participating in group activities and by being bearers of the charism of Mother Rosalie in daily life.

LOVE, TENDERNESS, COMPASSION. These three values  are the  roots  which have given form to the Gospel features of Mother Rosalie. The lay people who  participate in  the  charism have to transmit it to the children entrusted to their care.
