Om is famous for its beautiful lake and woodlands. The land however is not very fertile for farming. Just down the road from our house is the national Catholic youth centre where young people come all the year round and which we too enjoy for times of retreat and gatherings. |
Little Sisters of Jesus, Om, Denmark Claire Helene and Denise founding members
50 years in Om On the 8th September 2007 we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the community in Om and we remembered so many Little sisters who have contributed to the building up of our life here. 
50 years of friendship, prayer and welcome
 20 years of work on the farm
 20 years of ecological market gardening and of selling our vegetables in the market of a nearby town
 30 years doing cleaning and maintenance work in the local school often going by bike
Today we continue to look after the garden and keep chickens and we still work in a school for children who have serious social, relational and psychological problems. We also welcome Little sisters from all over Europe for rest and prayer. 
The numerous friends who celebrated with us represented so much of what we lived during those years. Some remembered when we began the farm, others after being neighbours for 30 years consider us as part of their family and we consider them as our family too! Each one felt concerned and helped us prepare, lending us tents, chairs and making cakes. We were very touched that six priests from the area altered their usual Saturday program to come and celebrate with us. The Lutheran Pastor of the village brought flowers but could not stay as he was officiating at two weddings. 
50 years of LIFE, the life of each day, condensed into this one day of celebration and friendship! |
