Help us fix up our House of Prayer and Volunteering in Albania

We need to do repair and remodeling work to continue to accommodate the many young volunteers who come to help in our Houses of Mercy and have moments of recollection for a personal encounter with Our Lord.

Our Community of Contemplative Life “San José,” which belongs to the Institute “Servants of the Lord and of the Virgin of Matara” of the Religious Family of the Incarnate Word, has been present in Albania since 2019. We are located in the town of Fushe Kruje, 20 km from the capital, Tirana. Currently, 10 sisters of various nationalities (Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Paraguay, the USA, and Albania) live here.

An important aspect of our contemplative life is hospitality, which, thanks to God, we can practice since we have a small house of prayer and volunteering. This house hosts young people each year who wish to volunteer in our houses of mercy present in the mission (we have a home for women with disabilities and a home for children) or to help with whatever is needed in our monastery. Additionally, spiritual exercises for laypeople are conducted there, along with formation and prayer meetings with local youth. We also host family and friends who are visiting or pilgrims seeking accommodation.

It is essential to make some modifications within the establishment, as well as maintenance and repair of the walls, which have been damaged by the humidity in the area.

The renovation project consists of:

  1. Complete replacement of the house's roof due to leaks and lack of insulation.
  2. The floor is not in optimal condition for use due to damage caused by the 2019 earthquake, so it is recommended to replace and upgrade the entire floor of the house.
  3. Subdivision of the house to include two large rooms with bathrooms, a small kitchen, and a multipurpose room.
  4. Reinforcement of the walls and access for people with mobility disabilities.
  5. Installing bars on the windows to provide greater security for our visitors.

We invite you to collaborate with this initiative by contributing whatever you can, your little grain of sand, so that our house of prayer and volunteering can better welcome those who seek to encounter God through prayer and works of mercy with the most vulnerable and the smallest.

Thank you in advance for whatever you can do, and know that you are in our prayers!

 
 
 
 
 

Comunidad contemplativa “San José”, del Instituto Servidoras del Señory de la Virgen de Matarà.

El Instituto Servidoras del Señor y la Virgen de Matará, SSVM, es una comunidad religiosa de derecho diocesano, fundada por el P. Carlos Miguel Buela el 19 de marzo de 1988 en San Rafael, Argentina. Este Instituto y el Instituto del Verbo Encarnado (IVE) junto con la Tercera Orden Secular forman nuestra Familia Religiosa del Verbo Encarnado.

Con la profesión religiosa las hermanas Servidoras comprometen todas sus fuerzar para inculturar el Evangelio. De allí la amplitud del apostolado, ya que se empeñan en el anuncio de la Palabra de Dios en todas sus formas : en el estudio y en la enseñanza en universidades y colegios; por medio de publicaciones; en la catequesis y oratorios; por medio de la realización de misiones populares y Ejercicios Espirituales; en la educación y formación cristiana de niños y jóvenes; en las obras de caridad con los más necesitados (niños abandonados, minusválidos, enfermos, ancianos, etc).

Todas estas obras son emprendidas sin fines de lucro y apoyadas por la ayuda de benefactores.

El Instituto, que es esencialmente misionero y se encuentra evangelizando en los cinco continentes, cuenta también con la Rama Contemplativa, es decir, miembros del mismo Instituto que se dedican totalmente a la oración, contribuyendo así a la extensión del Reino de los Cielos a través de una vida de contemplación y penitencia. A esta Rama pertenece nuestra Comunidad de vida contemplativa “San José”, presente en la Misión en Albania desde el 2019. Como comunidad orante, al mismo tiempo que dedicamos nuestras vidas a la alabanza divina, al contar con pequeños lugares de acogida nos proponemos, también ayudar a quienes llegan a nuestro monasterio, para que en un clima de recogimiento y oración puedan a su vez hallar paz espiritual en el contacto con Dios.
