As the Institute celebrates the 150th Anniversary of its foundation; the Province of Kolkata rejoices and thanked God for the gift of our six sisters who made their first profession at Mazzarello Convent Ranchi, on 24 May 2022. The FMA India, commemorates, the centenary of the arrival of the first missionaries in India in 2022. In the year 1922, the six missionaries arrived in India, and it is a coincidence that six sisters Sr. Alice Rosline Tirkey, Sr. Elina Minj, Sr. Neha Beck, Sr. Neha Lucy Kujur, Sr. Nayna Agatha Kujur and Sr. Ursula Kujur made their first profession in Mazzarello Convent, Sahera Ranchi with their motto: Chosen to love, serve and generate life. The Holy Eucharist was presided over by Most Rev. Felix Toppo, SJ, the Archbishop of Ranchi along with other con-celebrants. During his homily he highlighted Jesus as an obedient Son of the Father who gave himself for the humanity. He offered his body mind and soul to his father to fulfill his Father’s glory. Therefore, our only desire should be to sacrifice to God. He invited the newly professed sisters to be the glory of the Church. The presence of the parents and relatives of the professed sisters, the religious, friends and the past pupils and the class mate of the professed sisters added joy to the celebration. The Eucharistic celebration was followed by felicitation and a fraternal agape.
