In the introduction of the Eucharist the theme of PC – Honouring the past, Embracing the present and Co-creating the future was well connected with the symbol of a tree.

Each one was given a brooch with the logo of PC and as a sign of welcoming one another to this sacred event the badges were pinned by the members to each other. And with this gesture we entered into the well prepared basement for the opening ceremony.At the outset Sr. Elsylighted the candle and declared the PC 2019 open. Thereafter Srs.
