GOD’S ELECT

Sister M. Susheela A.C. has been elected as the Superior General of the Apostolic Carmel.

Let us rejoice in the Lord for His wonderful love and mercy towards His people. He had predestined Sister Susheela to be our leader at this point of time in the history of the Apostolic Carmel. This divine will is manifested through the General Chapter, 2014.

Let every sister of the Apostolic Carmel echo in faith and love, our traditional pledge of Love, Loyalty and Obedience.

A day of silence and prayer

After the hectic days of discussions and deliberations, today, 15 February, was for us, a day of silence and prayer.  

Fr.Francis Serrao S.J. was once again with us for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.

Both his homily and the talk that followed gave us fresh insights into the process of discernment.  He was very practical in his approach.  At the same time, the talk he gave us was Christ – centered and Scripture – based.  Thus, it was a great help for us to enter into the prayer of discernment. 

BEHIND THE SCREEN

No great event can take place without the support characters, so also the General Chapter.

The backbone of this support system is great Trio: Sisters Beatrice, Ethel and Quintella of Saranya community. Just for the Chapter Sister Lucy Lobo from Maryhill community also joined the great team. 

                          We are lucky to have Sister Jyotsna  of Lourdes Community as our chief chef. What a privilege! In spite of her being the headmistress of the school, she makes herself available for this important job. 

                                       Then, we have the young group of sisters who are assisting us.  They are seen everywhere, in the kitchen, in the refectory, washing dishes, in the sacristy and chapel; library, chapter Hall, at the reception and taking care of the sick.  Oh! What would have been our fate if these young and energetic sisters were not here to help us; Sisters Shanthi Therese, Pramila D’Souza, Ann Tejas, Sandaris L. Mawlong, Maria Suhani, Maria Christina, Priya D’Souza and Nitha Maria.
