ENCOUNTER WITH MOTHER GENERAL NEW DELHI: On April 17, 2017 the communities of New Delhi had the joy of meeting our dear Mother General who was on her way to Rome after two weeks of visitation in the Provinces of Shillong and Guwahati. She arrived from Guwahati at New Delhi airport by 7 pm accompanied by Sr. Jessy P., ING Provincial economer and her onward flight was at 1.00 am. Seven sisters representing the four communities of New Delhi together with Sr. Annie Thevarkunnel the Provincial Economer were present to welcome her at the International Airport. Mrs. Sushma Kujur, ground manager, Mr. A.K. Mishra, an Engineer and Mr. Arjun Singh, pilot who have got their daughters studying in our school made all the possible arrangements for the sisters to meet Mother and spent lots of time with her in the lounge. Though the Sisters desired to take her to the community, it was impossible to do so due to heavy traffic hours. After spending some time in the airport, Mother was led to a nearby Hotel where we had dinner together with her. We were happy that the World Gratitude Day Celebration began at “Delhi by night”! During these moments of joy and sharing, Mother expressed her

appreciation and thanks for the prayers and support of all the sisters. She also exhorted us to promote vocations by accompanying the young girls regularly. We are grateful to the three parents who have made our meeting with Mother possible and to have an enjoyable time in listening to her. The sisters were happy to wish her for Easter and also for the world gratitude day which she will be celebrating on 26th April together with the sisters of West Africa. By 12.30am all of us returned to our communities grateful and happy.
