Foundation Day at Ranchi


RANCHI: The Ranchi communities celebrated the foundation day of our Institute with great festivity. The choir intoned the song "wonderful is so wonderful to serve the Lord our God..." as the sisters' with the Constitutions in their hand approached the altar and offered to the Lord. Harkening to the exhortation of Mother General the main celebrant with great solemnity re-bestowed the Constitutions. The sisters received it with great fervor. We recalled the words of Mother Mazzarello to her first daughters, "see, we have a treasure in this Rule which Don Bosco has given us." All of us with great enthusiasm sang the hymn 'I found a treasure in a field that neither time nor death can steal…" After which sisters renewed the vows with passion and fidelity. We too were united with our Mother General to give praise to God for her fidelity, expressed in the 50 years of her religious life. After the Mass the children felicitated all the sisters, especially we remembered with great love all those who made their commitment on this auspicious day.
