The Sisters were fortunate to have in their group in Peru sisters from five different cultures (Peruvian, Filipino, Korean, Canadian and Irish) so this was a very enriching experience for all. During the workshop time was spent tgetting in touch with the different cultural values, sharing in small and large intercultural groups. They also got input on the differences between individualistic and group centered societies and examined the effects of high and low power cultures in personal interaction.

Each day began with prayer prepared by the various communities and ended with Mass in the evening celebrated by Fr. Frank.
After supper there was time for recreation and on the final evening there was a party, enriched by songs and jokes from different cultures and lively dancing. .
