14th January 2019

January 14 th 2019 was the day of great joy and happiness for all the sisters of St. Dorothy, Daughters of the Sacred Hearts. The wonderful day has dawned with its novelty and beauty with colorful memories of our Father founder St. John Antony Farina. The graceful day has begun with a prayer service followed by solemn Holy Eucharist presided over by Rev. Fr. William SDB. During his homily he explained about different dimensions of love, and how to practice them in our daily life. And Sr. Lourdumary, renewed her holy vows to the Lord by the hand of our Provincial Superior Rev. Sr. Biji Mulackal. We have kept the mood of celebration on the whole day and unceasingly asked our father founder’s intercession that we may sustain always in the same spirit and zeal that he had showed us through his profound charity and simplicity. All the community of Indian province had commemorated this occasion in a different manner. May our Father founder always intercede for all his daughters from heaven.
