The Heavenly Father’s Eucharistic Communicators, known for their musical and artistic qualities, occupy the temple two years after its closure
A new congregation occupies the Monastery of the Incarnation of Mula since Monday. It is about the Congregation of Eucharistic Communicators of the Heavenly Father, presented in a Eucharist that has been celebrated in the temple, presided over by the Bishop of the Diocese of Cartagena, José Manuel Lorca Planes. The mayor of Muleño, Juan Jesús Moreno, has been present, accompanied by members of the Municipal Corporation and representatives of all the brotherhoods and religious brotherhoods of Mula.
The Congregation of the Eucharistic Communicating Sisters of the Heavenly Father (also known by its initial letters, CEPC) is a Catholic order born in Colombia. It was founded by the Belgian Catholic priest Antonio Lootens and the religious Mother Gabriela of Crucified Love in 2002, through their Catholic television series ‘De corazón a corazón’ on the Catholic channel EWTN.45.
The Eucharistic Communicators group is made up of dozens of nuns, of which a large part are musicians, composers, cameramen, photographers, screenwriters, sound engineers and filmmakers. They are the only Catholic production company to be run by nuns in Colombia.
As a Catholic musical group, it began later, with its first praise album, ‘Yo le canto’, but rose to fame in 2017, through the rapper nun María Valentina de los Ángeles, who sang to Pope Francis. during his pastoral visit in Colombia.
Sister Clara Juárez, on her behalf and on behalf of the Poor Clares of Elche, to whose convent the nuns of Mula left after the closure of the convent in December 2019, have shown their satisfaction “and infinite gratitude to the Lord, for having allowed that the congregation of the Eucharistic communicators can come to inhabit our Monastery of the Incarnation of Mula ».
The Councilor for Culture and Patrimony of Mula, Diego Boluda, said that “it is good news, since the Royal Monastery of the Incarnation will always be better inhabited.”
Two years after its closure
In December 2019, the Poor Clare nuns, who for 340 years lived in the convent of the Royal Monastery of the Incarnation, left the city of Mula, since there were only two nuns due to the lack of vocations, moving to Elche.
The construction works of the convent of Franciscan Poor Clare Sisters in Mula began on May 19, 1680, and ended five years later. The foundation was promoted by Fray Pedro de Jesús (Pedro Botía Peñalver) in 1667, under the patronage of Juan José de Austria.
It is located in the upper area of the town, that of an old hermitage in honor of the first patron of this city, Ntra. Sra. De los Olmos, of which there is evidence since 1343.
The category of Royal has been given to it since its foundation, since its patron, Juan José de Austria, explicitly indicates that upon his death the patronage of said convent falls to the Spanish crown. Thus and, by royal decree of February 28, 1687, Carlos II will accept it.
