Can words suffice to spell gratitude to a person who had pilgrimaged with the province for almost 3 months sharing her life with each member of the communities?  Words will surely be inadequate so the province had recourse to the most sublime sign of thanks, The Holy Eucharist.

On 17^th May 2019  the province of Mary Help of Christians Kolkata organized a  gratitudinal Eucharistic celebration at 7 am at Auxilium Dum Dum  attended by a good number of FMAs of the province. The celebrant was Fr. Jose Chunkapura SDB from Diamond Harbour.  The Holy Eucharist commenced with an entrance dance by the aspirants  who brought in the sisters with  symbols  of their communities’ service  for the locality , Sr. Lucy Rose the visiting councillor , Provincial Sr. Rose Ezarath and the celebrant.

The entire Eucharistic celebration had the note of solemn thanksgiving right from the start with a an introduction delineating the  fruits of the canonical visit, the prayer of the faithful, the tuneful choir intoning meaningful hymns, the celebrant  solemnizing it with melodious   singing of the mass.  He in his talk urged all to decipher the sacred space where one find meaning, joy and fruitfulness.  Jesus said I have come that you may have life- life in abundance.  Each one of us is called to give ourselves totally and unreservedly for the service of the Lord and help our youngsters to discover their Sacred space .  The finale of the celebration was in storing in the history a memorable portrait with Sr. Lucy Rose and  of all present.    The ceremony came to a close with a thanksgiving speech, a song and  breakfast for all.
