Procession to the Chapter Hall:
The graceful and rhythmic movements of our Junior sisters in dance made the procession enchanting and beautiful.
Enthronement of the Bible:
To make the Chapter fruitful we remain docile to the Word of God.
The Provincial Superior Sr.M.Snehalatha declare
the Chapter open.
She said that we are commissioned to make the goodness and compassion of God experientially available to the members of our community and the people outside. This flow of love and compassion originates from our contemplation and being nourished by the energy of the Divine. Our vowed life is a protest against the materialism, consumerism and individualism which has become a culture of the time. All Christians much more we as religious are called to develop a contemplative consciousness that leads to action.
