Province Assembly 2017

The long awaited Province Assembly (India Central) was held from April 7^{th -} 9^th at Don Bosco Youth and Catechetical Centre in Kolkata. The sisters in the province with Facilitator Sr. Sujita SND were present for this important event in the history of the Province. The theme chosen for the assembly was “Leadership for Service”, (Mary as the model). The chapter began with a meaningful prayer ritual inviting the Holy Spirit to guide and direct the three days deliberations. The first day was concluded with the introduction, welcoming and with the input session ‘on the role of a prophetic Religious life today’. The day also added its beauty and color with the Platinum jubilee celebration of Srs. Mary Felicitas and Mary Sebastian.

After much prayer and reflection we had a series of activities to enter into the process and prepare for naming Sisters for new leadership for the next three years. Finally the desired names were sent to the Generalate for confirmation. The Congregation Leadership Team (CLT) announced the names: Sr. Joicy Madassery as province leader (provincial); Srs. Anita Dungdung, Deepthi Mathew and Suja Sebastian as the Province Leadership Team (PLT) members.  The days of gathering were very enriching, pleasant and was a joyful celebration of    events that ‘Set our hearts on fire’, guided by passion and compassion for our sisters and for the suffering creation.
