Blessed Mary Camp 2026 with the MSP Sisters - Cusco

In July, as we do every year, we organized a camp for girls of different nationalities. It was an enriching experience for both them and us. Some were already participating in longer missionary experiences, while others joined just for this occasion.

In addition to receiving spiritual guidance, they were invited to participate in the Eucharist and to approach the Sacrament of Reconciliation, a source of mercy. They joined in the life of community prayer, participating in the recitation of Lauds, Vespers, the Holy Rosary, and also in their personal prayer. They shared community life with us and collaborated in the apostolates at the mission houses.

They carried out missions in various towns in the high Andes, visiting homes, offering catechesis, and presenting songs and theatrical performances of parables. They were deeply impressed by the happiness they found in people, despite poverty and suffering. This experience motivated them to thank God for what they have and to reach beyond themselves to bring happiness to others.

At the home, they also had the opportunity to help the children in the classrooms. With some of them, they took a trip to Urubamba, a unique experience they embraced wholeheartedly, finding ways to feed, care for, and brighten their day, as these children require special attention due to their specific needs. They participated in various activities, such as baking. They visited a school, and some participated in workshop activities. They also explored some archaeological sites in the city of Cusco. To close the event, we organized a festive dinner with the girls from the home and the residence, culminating in dance, song, and theater performances. 

They return inspired by this experience, ready to be light with Christ.
