AMAR NEWS #77 Initiation Ceremony at SHTC, Nashik

It couldn’t have been a more pleasant evening than that of the eve of the Solemnity of Mary Help of Christians. The chapel at Sacred Heart Training Centre at Nashik, brightly lit and bedecked with flowers, seemed to welcome our five postulants, who wouldn’t be postulants anymore, into the very heart of our Institute. To word it more appropriately, Sr. Placiya Rodrigues, Sr. Vandana Fernandes, Sr. Sony Kokya, Sr. Smita Tairipascu and Sr. Mummun Marak, were initiated into the novitiate in the presence of the Provincial of INB, Sr. Rita Dora Thomas and the FMA on our campus.

The Provincial exhorted them, through the letter of St. John Bosco to the FMA, printed in our Constitutions, how to live as an authentic FMA. They were presented with a medal of Mary Help of Christians each, a sign of their belonging to the Institute and as an entrustment to our Blessed Mother. This solemn ceremony came to a close with our Mother Provincial entrusting the novices to their Novice Directress, Sr. Salome D’Souza.
