First of December 2019 was a memorable day for us, the Sisters of St. Dorothy, Archana Convent, Keezhmadu. The day began with the solemn Eucharistic celebration presided over by Rev. Fr. Paul Cherupilly, Director, Social Service Centre of Ernakulam – Angamaly Archdiocese. After Mass, at 9.00 A.M., the community members and the sisters of the neighboring communities, gathered together at the venue of the proposed house for the sick and aged. The foundation stone was blessed by Rev. Fr. Francis Vattukulam SDB, Rector, Don Bosco College, Keezhamdu and ceremoniously laid by Rev. Sr. Biji Mulackal, Provincial Superior of the Sisters of St. Dorothy in the presence of the Provincial Councillors, Novices, candidates and well-wishers. “Success is when you look back at your life and the memories make you smile”. Certainly this memorable event will definitely bring smiles to those who witnessed this function in later years.
