To the Heavenly abode

 May your soul rest in peace 

Sr. Josephine Payyapilli



Sr. Josephine Payyapilli’s last rite were held on 13th April 2023 in the community of Mother Mary, Dediapada where 10 priests concelebrated the Eucharist along with Bishop Rt. Rev. Sebastiao Mascarenhas who is the Bishop of Baroda as the main celebrant. The sisters from various communities, many relatives and friends, a good number of sisters of other congregations and a very big crowd of people from the parishes where she served were present.

Her mortal remains were laid to rest in the tomb adjacent to the community chapel of the community of “ Mother Mary” Dediapada, Gujarat.

We Carmelite missionaries of St. Francis Xavier India united with the sisters of our entire Congregation thank God for the gift of life and joyful witnessing of Sr. Josephine Payyapilli to the Church. We believe that our beloved sister with her missionary and universal heart would continue interceding for the Charismatic experience in the Congregation and for the new vocations to Missionary Carmel.
