For the community of Dum Dum, the evening of 4th August to the 5th was a  time of great rememberance as  we prepared to renew our commitment  by receiving the Constitution once again. The vigil service was an amalgamation of various historical events from the chornistoria – the enactment why Don Bosco could be present for the first profession,  the encouraging words of Mother Mazzarello to hope and pray that the Lord may sent Don Bosco for the celebration.  Reminscing this archival and touching events filled our minds with undescribale joy.   

The celebration conintued the next day with the young people, the laity, the groups of Salesian family and the parishioners.  The Eucharistic celebration commenced with the procession of sisters carrying Constitution to the altar and placing it on the altar as a symbol of their total consecarion to God and the assembly carried flowers. During the homily the celebrant  Fr. James SDB, highlighted some of the characteristic virtues of St. Mary Mazzarello especially her unquestionable obedience.  After the homily the sisters were presented with the Constitutions  as in first profession and renewed their vows with great fervour.  At the request of the celebrant the faithful stretched out their hand on all the sisters and sisters on one another  to implore  God’s blessings to  continue   thier mission with great passion.  After the Eucahristic celebration all those present were given snacks  to celebrate the event of the renewal rite and to participate in the joy of the consecrated.   Our big thanks to Mother General who took this initiative to bring all the FMAs together for one single celebration from various parts of the world in their own style, to re-live the moment of our profession and self donation to the Lord.
