We, at the Generalate were privileged to have at one time three golden Jubilarians:
Sisters Liceria, Lisetta and Beatrice Pereira. Sister Liceria is of course is the Assistant General and so the Generalate Team celebrated her Jubilee with a homely get together of prayer and festivities much ahead of the official celebration.
The day dawned with the Jubilarians being escorted to the Chapel in a procession with the singing of " Behold the Bridegroom cometh". An inspriting morning prayer followed. The Jubilarians were fortunate to have some of their relatives and friends participating in this prayer. The joy of the Trio knew no bounds becasue besides the Superior General and the team and the sisters of the community, Sister Vincent graced this occasion. There were many sisters from other Provinces as well. Archbishop Emeritus Ignatius Pinto was the main celebrant of the Eucharistic celebration. After Mass the Jubilarians were led with 'golden' Umberlllas to the Shaminana which was aesthetically and fittingly decorated for the Triple Golden Jubilee. The relatives and guests filled the large Shamiana and enthusatically greeted the three sisters and enjoyed a festive lunch thereafter. Bangalore, the garden city provided a variety of flowers for the occasion. Every one felt that it was relly a solemn celebration.
The festive celebration was preceded by a spiritual Renewal Programme of the batch. Eleven of them gathered at Maryhill from November 28 to December 15, 2010. The programme included a Retreat at Ryshivana directed by Fr. John Sequeira OCD. They also renewed their first love by visiting St. Anns and Rosario Cathedral. You know of course that Sr. Liceria was instrumental for all these arrangements.
