SOCIETY OF THE HELPERS OF MARY
CERCENASCO
Cercenasco is a small village consisting mainly of fields. The faith of the people is strong and they take part actively in all the liturgical celebrations. The community here was opened on 28 September 2008. The sisters are engaged in the pastoral activities of the parish and sub centres: meeting the spiritual needs of the people, taking communion to the sick, conducting the rosary, etc. A sister nurse is employed in the Fondazione Ceppi di Bairols Aged Home run by the church and municipality.
January 2003 was a remarkable day in the history of SHM because it was the day the congregation branched out to another continent, to Italy in Europe. SHM broke new ground in Italy where the sisters were engaged in pastoral, education and assisting in the office of
Fondazione Fratelli Dimenticatti, Turin, Italy.
