FEAST DAY

FEAST DAY

     On 24^th October we the Nirmala Nivas community had celebrated the feast of our father founder St. Claret. In the morning we offered prayers for our congregation of Claretian sisters & Claretian Fathers, Benefactors and our well-wishers. We had conducted sundry competitions in our community, as we prepared ourselves for the feast. The prize distribution for those competitions was held. Then we had games to encourage the participants in the spirit of celebration. It was a motivating and refreshing one, as most of the participants were happy to join and play. There were different types of games that added happiness to the gathering.  It was indeed a splendid noon with love and care. We celebrated the feast of St. Antony Maria Claret with great joy and enthusiasm. As a preparation for the feast, we, both the communities in Mysore, Nirmala Nivas and Antonia Paris Nilaya Communities joined together to make this event very memorable and joyful one. We took special interest to make the feast more creative and meaningful. The co-operation and collaboration of our Claritian spirit enabled us to find meaning in the celebration.

Towards the evening we moved to Antonia Paris Nilaya community where we greeted all the community members & also took part in the ceremony of entrance to the noviciate of our postulant Kamalda. We wished all the very best for her new step and prayed for her perseverance.

A memorable liturgy was organised and arranged by the sisters on this joyful occasion to share our Claretians’ spirit with the universal church in celebrating the feast of St. Claret. Fr.Joseph Thambi (TOR) delivered an inspiring message to the gathering and faithful. In his message he highlighted the theme of our vocation and the mission for which we are called to do. And also He encouraged us to develop the attitude of St. Claret, to be a more loving and a caring person in the society.

We, after sharing the Eucharistic table in the liturgy, moved to the sharing of the living-table. Delicious and sumptuous Dinner was prepared to remind us of the blessings of the almighty through our founder St. Claret. It was well prepared and served.

We then moved back to our community with the same spirit to celebrate the life in the footsteps of our founder St. Claret.

On reaching the community we shared our experiences with one another, with this joyful note we ended the celebration with the mission and vision to carry out the Charism of our founder St. Claret. On this day we enjoyed and recalled the purpose of our being in this congregation and lived a meaningful day.

                  A wonderful experience

E

ducation is the powerful weapon which can change the world. The community of Antonia Paris Nilaya started the Tuition program for the Children with the remuneration.

 I Sr.Rahil Kandulna personally involve in this apostolate and happy to be part of this, to teach these little ones by admiring their innocence.  As I see and experience, it is the great opportunity and learning for me. The very first thing which I have experienced is to be innocent like the small children. And that is, the one of the great virtue of Jesus as well as our founders. As I involve directly in this apostolate I have come to know their way of life and also their needs. As we teach the subjects we also get the opportunity to implement the value of the Gospel. As I have been given this opportunity I am grateful to the community as well as to the congregation. This is the golden chance where I explore myself to the people and give myself directly to the needy. It is not the interest of one person but I see the collaboration of the community with wholeheartedly.  I experience the positive respond of the parents of the children. And they are happy about it. And we the community hope for the best.
