The Charism of SionThe Family of Sion |
It was a Sister of the Congregation, Christina, then responsible
for the boarding school of Sion in Costa Rica, who heard God's call to carry on
the desire of Father Theodore for a contemplative house of Sion. The first contemplative community began in 1926 at Grandbourg (near Paris) in the house called "the Solitude". Today there are five contemplative communities - two in France, two in Brazil and one in Israel. The Sisters live out God's call to Sion by prayer, daily chant of the Divine Office, adoration, reading and study of God's Word in Christian and Jewish traditions. They want to be women of hope and reconciliation. They earn their living by manual work. ![]() La Solitude- Grandbourg La Solitude- Bartres |
