Parent Group

What is this group?

The Parent Group is made up of mothers and fathers of families who live as a couple or as single parents.

They  define themselves as follows:  

“Group of Christian parents who  are  benefiting  or  who  have benefited of the services of the  Misericordia  Sisters and who feel called to  live  the spirit of Rosalie in their daily life.”

Apostolate

The Christian faith journey  of  these people has prompted them to embody the spirit of Rosalie  in their daily life, especially with their children, their family and friends and in their workplace.

Their profound motivation to integrate the spirituality of Rosalie  is  consistent with their desire to transmit it to the people they encounter.

Commitment

The members of the  “Parent Group”  are involved in  one Work or  the other in the Institute.  Their way of getting involved as volunteers and their readiness to welcome other parents into their group, indicates  their  real  concern for commitment. This commitment  may  be done in an official way after journeying for some time in the group. The commitment  is made  for one year  the first time  and can be renewed as many times as the person wishes.  

What works are the parents linked to?

There are two groups in Quebec. One is linked to the Educational Accompaniment Centre in Montreal and the other to the  Carrefour de la   Miséricorde  (Misericordia Crossroads)  in Gatineau.

Form for commitment

I, ______________________, as  a  member of the Parent Group of the Misericordia Family,  commit myself to  live  mercy  in daily life, inspired by the life of  Rosalie Cadron-Jetté  and  in solidarity with the mission of the  Misericordia  Sisters.  

Mary, Mother of Mercy, guide  us on  our journey towards the  fulfillment  of the vocation to which the Father has called us in Christ.
