We the Ursuline Franciscan Sisters of North Province with sentiments of joy and gratitude gathered together on 26th April 2025 at Jeevan Dhara Provincialate to celebrate the “Call” with our beloved Sisters for their commitment and courage to say YES to the Lord who made the temporary profession, perpetual profession and celebrated Silver and Golden jubilee of their religious profession. This auspicious event was witnessed by the family members of our Sisters, well-wishers and parishioners.
“Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him” (1 Cor. 7:17).
“What you are is God’s gift to you, what you become is your gift to God”. Life becomes our canvas, every act of kindness, every lesson learned and every time we rise after falling is part of the masterpiece we offer back to the divine.
