The air was filled with the excitement on 24^th May,

For there was something to happen on that great day.

As the 12 sisters at 6 am arrived at Jumaikela Parish,

At Don Bosco church they had many things to cherish.

They were brought inside the church singing and dancing,

Accompanied by their parents they held the light shining.

To the Lord they offered their life in the symbol of this light,

Saying their final ‘Yes’ to God to shine bright.

Rt. Rev. Emmanuel Kerketta, the Bishop of Jashpur brought Jesus in table well spread,

16 priests and 2000 people present there joined the breaking of the bread.

The thought provoking homily by the bishop ringed in our ears,

Being witnesses of God’s mercy through our years.

After the homily the twelve said their ‘Yes’ to God forever,

And remain faithful to Him and to reject Him never.

They received the crown for their Fiat,

And with joy in their hearts, they danced and sang their Magnificat.

They offered their hearts to the Lord in a symbol of Love,

To show their gratitude to God above.

Their YES was a sign of love and dedication,

For all present there to serve Him with devotion.

Our hearts were happy to receive the food for our soul,

Then the 3 hours felicitation by all,

This brought a vibration of joy in the hearts of everybody.

This helped us to enjoy the food for our body.

All these moments brings a thought of gratitude in our hearts,

To the God Almighty who was present in all our arts.

Then we turn our eyes to Bishop of Jashpur, priest, religious, parents and all the parishnors,

For their availability to join, in our day so Joyous.

It brings great joy to thank our dear provincial Sr. Rose Ezarath,

As she showed these sisters the holiness as their only path.

Our sister’s hard work, all done with love,

It made our celebration all full of dance.

We shall love to remember these days of joys,

And live it in our daily chores.

Wishing the 12 our very love and prayers,

To continue the rest of their years with God’s grace.
