In the Land of the Living, the faith journey of our deceased Sisters, compiled by Sr Aurea D’Souza, UFS and released on the occasion of the Centenary of St Ursula Convent, the First house of the Congregation of the Ursuline Franciscan Sisters on ….The book is dedicated to Rev. Fr Urban Stein S.J. the Founder of the Congregation, Mother Nympha Fernandez, the First Superior of the Company of St Ursula and Rev. Fr Pacificus OFM Cap. It contains the necrology of our Founder, Mother Nympha Fernandez and the pioneers who were the members of the Company of St Ursula from which sprouted the religious congregation of the Ursuline Franciscan Congregation, Rev. Fr Pacificus and the sixty-four members of the Congregation till June 2001. They are the grains of wheat fallen in the soil, died and brought forth fruit in abundance of which we are the beneficiaries. If they had not died to themselves until they died even the physical death, would the Ursuline Franciscan Congregation receive as much life as it enjoys today?
