The Spiritual Renewal Course, organized by the person in charge of the training area M. Rosa Kang, which takes place at the conception center of SEGOVIA _ La Lastrilla (Spain) from July 1 to 30, 2026, has continued at a good pace. In addition to having time for deepening, reflection and sharing, the attendees have been able to receive training from the Mother General. M. Belén was with them for two days. In the first one they worked Challenges of the congregation at this time and in the second The figure of Saint Carmen Sallés and the Conceptionist Charisma, the intuitions of Mother Carmen and our response today.

M. Rosario Moreno, superior of the community of Manzanares (Ciudad Real) also accompanied the attendees with several days in which they worked on “Walking with Mary.”

They were very intense days of working together and getting to know the reality of the congregation in the different places. They were able to present the challenges of their own workplace, reflect on what each country has given to the congregation and share a little about the reality that each one lives in their mission. Days of excitement and commitment in the NETWORK OF LIFE that forms the congregation.

During the course they have been able to visit the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, in France. This is how they relate the experience: "We have come to Lourdes to thank the Lord for everything we have experienced during this month of ongoing formation. It has been a time of prayer, encounter, growth and renewal. We want to present to the Virgin Mary all the fruits of this path, as well as our communities, our Congregation and the mission that the Lord entrusts to us.

We also come to learn from the simple and trusting faith of Saint Bernadette and to renew our vocation as Conceptionists. We ask Mary Immaculate to help us follow Jesus with fidelity, hope and joy, and to return to our communities with a renewed heart and ready to serve.” We join them in prayer and will share with you some photos of the trip.
