From 18 – 19 April 2015, Provincial Sr. Maria Pettayil visited the community of Kalyani. Boarders welcomed her at the entrance and led to the Chapel for a short prayer service, animated by Sr. Asha Kiran to invoke the presence of the Spirit for the success of the Provincial visit.

Basing on the theme of the visitation “With Mary a community that evangelizes” Sr. Maria exhorted the sisters to imitate the example of our Blessed Mother to be a witnessing community by accepting the daily realities of life. She drew our attention to  the Empty tomb so as to live a life of hope and courage.

In the evening the whole community gathered around Sr. Maria for a short programme. Through a short sketch  the boarders thanked God for Sr. Maria’s selfless service and hidden sacrifices interspersed with gestures of love and concern.

Sr. Maria released the bicentenary cushion prepared by the Social Ministry center. She appreciated the small steps the community takes to enhance the growth of women and young people.Sisters expressed their gratitude to Sr. Maria in the words of St. Paul: “I thank my God each time I think of you…”
