An Encounter with Bishop Lourdes Daniel

It was a day out for all the Salesian sisters of the Nashik Diocese as Bishop Lourdes Daniel, the Bishop of the diocese desired to spend a day with us. The wonderful encounter began with the Lord as we spent our time in praise and worship before Jesus our soul Master and Lord. This day was set aside by the Bishop to appreciate all the good done by the Salesian sisters and to know our concerns and cares so that together we can carry out our mission effectively in this diocese.  This was also a time to get to know each other and to express our difficulties and challenges and to plan out how effectively we can serve the diocese in the coming years. This was the initiative undertaken in the year dedicated to Consecrated life by the Holy Father. 

The resource person for the day was Fr. Trevor Miranda SJ, the Episcopal Vicar for the Religious, who shared with us some innovative ways in which we can serve the church at Nashik.  His personal experiences and expertise were well appreciated by all of us.

Thanks to Bishop Lourdes Daniel for the personal interest and love that he shows towards all the religious in the diocese and specially his loving support to us the Salesian Sisters. We desire to be the visible face of the merciful father in this year of mercy to the people around and bring his compassionate love to the poor and the needy of our society.
