The Bicentenary celebration of the Vedruna Carmelite Sisters of Charity and the silver Jubilee of the Jyotighar Vedruna sisters was celebrated on 17th October at Catholic Church Nanakantharia. The solemn occasion was graced by the presence of Rev. Archbishop of Gandhinagar and con-celebrated with several priests of the diocese. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Holy Eucharist started with the procession and a Lejim dance by the women, followed by  twenty five Vedruna sisters holding lighted lamps symbolising the light of Christ entrusted to us by our Spiritual Mother Foundress St. Joaquina. The introduction of the Holy Eucharist highlighted the history of the Congregation and the Vedruna sisters presence in Nanakantharia, which started in 2001. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We remembered with profound reverence the five pioneer sisters- Pushpa, Joycee, Elizabeth, Rekha and Ann Mary, who carried the spirit of Vedruna Charism to the mission at Nankantharia. The offertory prayers symbolised the radiant milestone of the growth and to renew the commitment to continue the Legacy of Mother Joaquina de Vedruna: \u2018\u2019working for the Glory of God and the good of our neighbour\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
