Goal<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

The Province of India wants to live the history and legacy of our Congregation founded by St. Joaquina de Vedruna, by honouring and recognizing the existence of our presence and our Charism that has spread and grown under the protection of our patron Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The Bicentenary offers the sisters an opportunity to look back and understand how God had planned and shaped the footsteps of our foundress so that it could reach India in the year 1953. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
