Compesières Mass

17/05/2025 


The church in Compesières was alive with fervour on Saturday 17 May, as the AHOM and SHOMS celebrated Mass for their families. Around fifty members and their families gathered for a celebration marked by sharing and fraternity, led by Father Fontaine, chaplain of the Geneva section. 

The mass was particularly beautiful and reflective, thanks in particular to the ‘improvised’ choir of a few members, whose songs enriched the service magnificently.

At the end of the service, thanks to the fine weather, we gathered outside for a buffet generously provided by everyone present. This moment of conviviality prolonged the beautiful atmosphere of the mass, offering everyone the opportunity to exchange ideas, laugh and strengthen ties. It was a real moment of sharing and fraternity, perfectly illustrating the spirit that drives the SHOMS and the AHOM.

We would like to thank Marie Amico for organising this wonderful celebration and the convivial aperitif that followed. We look forward to seeing you next year, on 6 June 2026 in Compesières.
