Our Lady of the Cenacle
“To propose to each soul what suits him according to time, the needs and the capacity of his spirit”: this is the goal set by Fr. Terme to the congregation from the beginning. The Sisters therefore naturally came to adapt their apostolate to the different components of society.
The sisters adapt their proposals first of all to the different states of life: it is a question of accompanying each stage of every vocation, religious or secular, single or family.
From the beginning, the apostolate of the Upper Room has been addressed to people of all conditions: the sisters refuse to make the social situation a barrier preventing participation in their retreats. With a great sense of practicality, they adapt their spiritual proposals to the needs and availability of different professional categories.
The lay teachers, responsible for forming souls and minds, particularly hold the attention of the Cenacle: accompanying their spiritual life must make it possible to reach their students and thus the whole of society.
From the beginning, Fr. Terme sought to combine spiritual apostolate, charity and social justice. Since then, the Sisters of the Upper Room have been working for human dignity, with prisoners, the disabled, the poor, the sick.
