With hearts filled with joy and gratitude, we, the sisters at Borlengri, Assam, celebrated the Bicentenary at Vedruna School on the 8th of November 2026, commemorating 200 years of God's faithfulness, love and guidance.
The celebration began with the solemn Holy Eucharist, presided over by His Grace, Most Rev. Paul Mattekatt, Bishop of Diphu, as the main celebrant, along with several priests and the presence of religious sisters who joined us in this special thanksgiving celebration. In his homily, the Bishop encouraged us to spread the light of Christ in the world around us and continue our mission through loving service, inspired by Mother Joaquina. He also appreciated the dedicated service of the Vedruna Sisters, especially their presence in the remotest places, bringing hope and love to those in need.
Following the Eucharist as part of the celebration, we presented a PowerPoint presentation on the life and mission of St. Joaquina de Vedruna, helping everyone to know more about our beloved foundress and her inspiring journey. The youth added joy to the occasion through a beautiful song, expressing the spirit of gratitude and celebration.
After the program we shared a meal together in a spirit of fellowship and unity. It was a joyful moment of togetherness, strengthening the bonds of our Vedruna family.
As we celebrated this significant milestone, we thanked God for the blessings of the past two hundred years and renewed our commitment to carry forward the mission of Mother Joaquina with generous love and dedicated service.
With gratitude for our past, we continue our mission with hope for the future.
