Relwa community has conducted a English cum  Vocational camp for the high school and XI &XII students. The number of participants were 22 young girls .There was a nice atmosphere and the entire community collaborated. Sr Jainisha and Arpon juniors were active and helped the community during this camp. 

Sr. Smita and Sr. Mayura Jadev assisted the young ones as they  took charge of them. Mr. Balwant Parmayr, a lay person was the English teacher who also did his part in motivating the young girls. At the end of the camp three girls came forward showing their interest for religious life. We keep in contact with them and follow up so that they may listen to the call of God. Let us pray fervently for vocations.

Walking together with the people of God

 

One with the people of God 

Being aware of the Theme “Go I am sending you “ we the sisters have involved ourselves in many pastoral activities of the Parish. We have divine Mercy shrine so thousands of people come on first Friday of the month.  Thus, we are occupied in distributing communion, giving counselling to the people who request.  We also extend our service to the sick and homebound by distributing Holy communion and praying for them in their respective houses. We give catechism classes to the students who prepare themselves to receive First Holy communion and confirmation. On Sundays we visit the families. We  go along with the Priest to different villages for the Holy Eucharist. 

We sisters render our service in the Parish school where she gets ample of opportunities to interact with the parents of the students. In the community we run Kindergarten for tiny tots coming from different economic background, religions and culture. We get chance to enrich ourselves with interculturality.  We promote values that are necessary to live a good family life. We have also a small group of CMS who are active and vibrant in rendering their service to the needy and poor.

Celebration in Maharashtra

Closing celebration of the 150th death anniversary of Bl. Francisco Palau 

Our four communities in Maharashtra state, India:  St. Francis Xavier,  Our Lady of Carmel, Bld. Francisco Palau, St. Therese of the Child Jesus Novitiate and CMS members assembled in ‘Our Lady of the Forsaken’ Church, Malwani together with the Parish Councilors  and the parishioners.

Everyone came before time with eagerness and full of joy for the celebration.   It was a day of thanking God for the rich spirituality of our Founder and for the many blessings we received through his intercession.  We had Rev. Fr. Nelson OCD as main celebrant and Rev. Fr. Aubrey Fernandes was the con celebrant.      

We began the Eucharistic celebration with the entrance dance by our novices.  The readings of the day highlighted the important tenet of Christian faith in the resurrection. Based on the readings Fr. Nelson said that our life here on Earth is a journey and is a passing reality.  We live our life as sojourners here on earth in communion with the mother church that guides us to walk in the path which our Lord Jesus has shown to us. Blessed Francisco Palau whose 150th death anniversary we celebrate always strived to preserve the perfect communion by loving God and neighbour. He was a man of courage and never gave up.  He went through persecution for the sake of his beloved the church.  Prayer life, community life and apostolic life flowed as a fruit of this communion. Finally father wished us saying, ‘May all the Carmelite Missionary Sisters be successful in attaining this perfect communion by their prayer life and service towards humanity’. 

Fr. Henry Sequeira our parish priest blessed us with festal wishes and prayed for the Canonization of our Founder and also for vocations.  This was followed by Power point presentation on the life of Fr. Founder and the mission of Sisters.  Fr. Nelson blessed the faithful with Fr. Founder’s Relic and after the mass the faithful venerated it. Then we had thrilling games and fraternal meal.  We enjoyed, thanked God and each other for the inspiring and meaningful celebration.
