Sister Madeleine talks about Mission Convent Holy Blood

At the next meeting of the Women's Society, Sister Madeleine Bouman will be our guest. She will come and talk about the rich history of the monastery, its worldwide mission and life as a nun and share her personal experiences with them.

The Holy Blood Mission convent offers a familiar sight in the landscape around Aarle-Rixtel. Whether you go there on foot, come by bike or by car, you can see the convent from afar. But it is more than a landmark, it has also been an inseparable part of the community for generations. Many children were altar boys there, received piano lessons from a sister, and beautiful embroidery on linens was also delivered to order by the sisters. The sisters living there, the Sisters of the Precious Blood, were particularly trained to go out into the world as missionary sisters. Initially, the sisters almost all came from Austria and Bavaria. The language of instruction in the convent was therefore German. The sisters were sent out to all corners of the world to serve and help where needed.

For Women's Society Laarbeek e.o., it is a unique opportunity to hear more about a special piece of local and global history.
