The Eucharistic celebration officiated by Rev. Fr. Victor Machado was a moment of thanksgiving for God’s faithfulness throughout her journey. Priests, Religious Sisters of a few neighbouring Congregation, Staff, Helpers, Boarding Pupils, friends, and well-wishers joined together with us in prayer, thanking God for the gift of her vocation and praying for abundant blessings, good health, wisdom, and strength in the years ahead.
Inspired by the words of Mother Mary, “My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,” Sr Nirmala renewed her commitment to continue serving God and humanity with joy and dedication.
May the Lord continue to bless and guide her in her mission.
