By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Mother General of the Pallottine Sisters, Josephina D’Souza, S.A.C. – from Rome, is in Belize and will visit Benque Viejo del Carmen.

Mother General D’Souza will be received as a distinguished visitor upon her arrival to Benque Viejo del Carmen on Sunday, May 7, 2023. Mother General D’Souza will be accompanied by Sister Adelaide, Chief Archivist of the Pallottines, and Clara Teul, Provincial to Belize.

The visiting Pallottines will partake in the 10 a.m. liturgy at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church where they will be graced with the marimba choir group led by musician Ian Yacab.

After the celebration of the Eucharist, Mayor Jorge Rosales will present Mother General D’Souza with the keys of the municipality.

The delegation will then tour the historical part of Benque Viejo with a stop at “Del Carmen Plaza in honor of the Pallottines” where the life-sized monument of Sister Dominica Senn, first Pallottine Superior in Belize, was dedicated in November 2022.

Since the departure of the Pallottine Sisters from Benque Viejo in 1971, 3 Mother Generals of the Pallottines have visited Benque Viejo del Carmen including Stella Holisz, Izabela Świerad, and Josephina D’Souza.

The Pallottine Sisters arrived in Belize on March 17, 1913 and established their first convent in Benque Viejo del Carmen.

The Pallottines are celebrated for having steered elementary education throughout Belize, consolidating the church-state partnership. The religious order was established in Italy in 1843.

The community of Benque Viejo del Carmen and surrounding villages join in welcoming Mother General D’Souza and companions to Benque Viejo del Carmen – first home of the Pallottine Sisters in Belize.
