For the celebration of the 140th anniversary of the first missionary expedition, the community prepared it with triduum. Each day animated prayers and intercessions kept alive the spirit of our origin that Mother Mazzarello had lived and shared.  We prayed all the FMA missionaries during adorations and prayer moments in order to be missionaries of hope and joy.

Celebration started with Holy Eucharist and was solemnized by introduction and prayer of the faithful by Sr. Premika Tirkey. Fr. Sanjay Kindo, the Parish priest spoke about the life and struggles of missionary life. Around fifty parishioners and our boarders witnessed the event. After the Mass a picture of Mary Help of Christians with family prayer and sweets were distributed to all.

On 18^th November school celebrated missionary week. The students express their talents and love for our six FMA missionaries through prayer dance, skits, drama and songs. They used PowerPoint to make the day more colorful.  Sr. Cecilia Tamba and Sr.Emerenciana Bara took the initiative to prepare the young people. To mark the day they drew beautiful charts on the different scenes from the life of Sr. Angela Vallese.  Finally the animator Sr. Theresa V. congratulated and thanked the sisters and the students for the wonderful performance.  At the end everyone with sweets in their hand went home with the message of love, hope and Joy
