Founding of the Association of Serbian Sisters in Belgrade<\/h2>\r\n

On the Feast of the Assumption in 1903, a group of women met in Belgrade to establish a female, humanitarian, and cultural society. At that time, the rules for this society were drafted, with the mission of providing as much assistance as possible to the suffering Serbian population in Old Serbia and Macedonia, and later, as the society grew stronger, to extend help to other regions where the Serbian people were oppressed. Branislav Nu\u0161i\u0107, a well-known Serbian writer, proposed that this organization be named the Association of Serbian Sisters. The main founders of the Association were Nade\u017eda Petrovi\u0107, Delfa Ivani\u0107, and Savka Suboti\u0107. Savka Suboti\u0107 also became the first president of the Association.<\/p>\r\n

Founding of the Association in Ireland<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Association of Serbian Sisters \u201cProtection of the Most Holy Mother of God\u201d in the Republic of Ireland is likely one of the youngest organizations of its kind.\nIt was founded in 2018 in Dublin as a women\u2019s humanitarian and cultural society.\nAt that time, the Association\u2019s first committee was elected, with Ankica Stan\u010devi\u0107 serving as the first president.\nIn June 2023, a new committee was chosen, and Biljana Torbica Kostin was elected as the current president of the Association.<\/p>\r\n

The First Patron Feast of the Association<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The first patron saint celebration was held on October 14, 2018, when Father Mladen broke the festive bread with the president and other members of the newly formed association. Today, the Association has around 50 members from various parts of Ireland.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Celebrations and Activities<\/h2>\r\n

The progress of our church and parish would be unimaginable without the dedication and heartfelt participation of the sisters of the Association \u201cProtection of the Most Holy Mother of God.\u201d\nThe sisters are always ready and willing to support every church or community event, working to preserve and strengthen the religious and cultural life of our small community.\nAs women and mothers, they recognize the importance of working together to safeguard cultural values. With great maternal care, they dedicate themselves to ensuring that not only their own children, but all families in our community\u2014and even occasional guests at our celebrations\u2014experience the warmth of traditional Serbian hospitality.<\/p>\r\n

Mission and Purpose of the Association<\/h2>\r\n

The members of the Association have diverse and numerous responsibilities. They participate in preserving Serbian religious traditions, work to maintain and strengthen the church community and Serbian cultural heritage, and organize activities for Christmas, Easter, the patron saint feast, and other religious holidays.\nIn addition, they take care of the church interior and provide support to parishioners in need. The sisters tirelessly engage in initiatives that strengthen Christian family life, organize humanitarian activities, and express their love for God and the Serbian people in various ways.<\/p>\r\n

Work Rooted in Love and Faith<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The work of the members of the Association of Serbian Sisters \u201cProtection of the Most Holy Mother of God\u201d is entirely voluntary and brings no personal or material gain, except the spiritual satisfaction of seeing a smile of gratitude from someone they have helped.\nThe sisters are aware that their efforts are valued and rewarded by the One whose rewards are eternal and everlasting.\nFor this reason, they carry out their work quietly and humbly, trusting in God and the Most Holy Mother of God, their protector and intercessor, who guides and strengthens them even when their will and energy falter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
