It’s a Great Day to Thank the Lord

This 22^nd November was no ordinary passing day. It marked the 92^nd anniversary of the arrival of the first six FMA missionary Sisters to India. To keep up this great day, we the novices at SHTC - Nashik, put up a short skit depicting the six missionaries, Sr. Teresa Balestra, Sr. Catherine Marnetto, Sr. Maria Angeleri, Sr. Luigina Appiano, Sr. Consiglia Tarricone and Sr. Teresa Merlo, who arrived at the Gateway of SHTC - Nashik and were welcomed in the traditional Indian style. We look back with gratitude and admire our pioneers because of whose lives lived in simplicity, poverty and obedience to God’s will, we have the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians here in India, spread out in six provinces, and who have brought it to what it is today. We pray that we may be able to give of our best in every way with joyous simplicity of one who knows that God is in command and above all, knowing that Our Lady will never leave us.
