The community of Auxilium Dum Dum kept themselves busy preparing for the arrival of new animator. Day after day and week after week the preparation went on till it occurred. Finally on 17th August 2020, we had the joy of welcoming our new animator in the person of Sr. Stella Potteparambil, coming from Auxilium Barasat. The community gave her a solemn welcome at 4.00 p.m. At the entrance of the house a star symbolizing her name, was solemnly placed. Sr. Stella stood in the middle of the star while the significance of this meaningful star was interpreted. The star that illumine the path, that points out towards holiness, the symbol of a leader who directs and the symbol of one who mentors and facilitates. After expressing these virtues of the animator Sr. Stella, was given a star shaped lamp in her hands. She was then accompanied by the Sisters with their rhythmic steps to the altar. Prayer of intercessions for our new animator was animated by Sr. Emilia Vas responding: This is our prayer today may the Lord guide and pave your way…The House Staff concluded these intercessions by the Hail Mary sung in Hindi. The new animator was led to the refectory where the community Sisters sang a welcome song of gladness, everything was geared around the shining stars. The House Staff added to the joy by their melodious rhythmic welcome song and all had sumptuous tea and snacks.
On the bright and sunny morning of 17th June, we Auxilians gathered to welcome our new Principal, Sr. Clara Saminathan. She was escorted to the Assembly where all of us welcomed her warmly in our midst with a Welcome Song. Then the students presented her with bouquets as a small token of our love. Then one of our students extended a hearty welcome through a speech and a poem. Sister Clara then told us that she looked forward to her stay with our family. We also hope that the years she will spend with us will be truly memorable to last a lifetime.
