Junior Sisters Annual Gathering and Renewal Program – Indore Province
It is God’s love that brought 22 junior sisters of Indore Province from different Communities, for the Juniorate course which was held at Sonkatch in Divya Sadan community from 27th December to 4th January. These eight days were for them indeed a spark of joy and happiness and a time of forming oneself for the mission of Christ. It was organized by Sr.Tessy .P and Sr.Smitha M. At the onset of the program Provincial Superior, Sr. Anjali karottupalackal wished and encouraged them, intimating on the importance of the juniorate gathering. They were nourished and enriched as they Journeyed with St. Paul and learning about his missionary methods.
“It was a time for us to question ourselves, “are we who received much of many precious things in life, willing to give back something of ourselves to the Lord?”.
