The Golden Jubilee celebration  of the Religious profession of Sr. Catherine Das took place on 11 August 2018 at Auxilium Aspirantate. The Liturgy of Thanksgiving for fifty years of faithful service of Sr. Catherine Das was celebrated by His Grace Most Rev. Thomas D’souza Archbishop of Kolkata, accompanied by seven concelebrants.  Adding to the beauty of the celebration was the entrance dance, triple aarti, music and singing provided by the voices of the Postulants and Aspirants of the community. The Liturgy concluded with the crowning of the Jubilerian with a golden crown by the Vice Provincial Sr. Teresa Adampakallel and the golden garland by Superior of the community Sr. Leelamma P.V. as an expression of felicitation and appreciation of the dedicated life of Sr. Catherine.

Soon after the Holy Eucharist the guests gathered in the school hall for a short felicitation programme. Sr. Leelamma welcomed the august gathering and felicitated the guest of honour His Grace Most Rev. Thomas D’souza with a bouquet of flowers. She briefed the audience about the life of Sr. Catherine and her precious and unique vocation as an FMA. The journey down Memory Lane brought back recollections of lifelong dreams, challenges, and hopes.  The aspirants staged a wonderful and mesmerising cultural show with a welcome dance, mime and a fusion dance. The cutting of the Jubilee cake was a memorable event where the Jubilerian was accompanied by the Vice Provincial Sr. Teresa Adampakallel and Sr. Leelamma P.V. The Aspirants composed a jubilee song to felicitate her at this juncture which was followed by extension of greetings and wishes by the invitees. The stage programme was concluded with much laughter and a final word of appreciation from Sr.  Catherine. Then the Archbishop was called upon stage to bless the sumptuous meal after which all were invited to partake of the same meal where stories of the Jubilarian’s life continued to be shared among the invitees.
