Report by: Sr Priyadarsini BS, Asst Novice Directress
A unique aura of happiness permeated in the chapel on 31 May 2022, as the outgoing Novice Directress Sr.Shalet D’souza handed her batten over to Sr. Preethi Prathima who was newly installed as Novice Directress by Sr.Cicilia Mendonca the Provincial Superior of Mangalore Province and called upon to imbibe the spirit of the good Shephered. There was an hour of prayer in which we gave thanks to God for the blessings unfolded through Sr. Shalet and prayed the fullness of Spirit on Sr.Preethi for the new mission. The installation of the new Novice Directress was marked with a short delightful felicitation programme.
The Provincial Superior congratulated Sr. Preethi Prathima for generosity to accept the new assignment with a spirit of faith and obedience. She also thanked the former Novice Directress Sr Shalet for her love and persevering accompaniment in guiding the novices.The presence of Sr Leera Maria BS the Superior of Rosa Mystica Community added joy to the occasion. The day’s blessings made the event a memorable one.
