Inaugural Ceremony of FMAINDIA Inter Sector Encounter 2011

It was truly a moment to jubilate and rejoice for the marvels God has done our Institute and in FMA India. St. Mary Mazzarello Province, Mumbai (INB) was honoured to welcome the participants of the FMAINDIA Inter-Sector Encounter 2011 at St. Joseph’s Training Centre, Lonavla. Our hearts were bouncing with joy to have in our midst our dear Sr. Maria Americo Rolim, General Councillor for Formation, Sr. Maria del Carmen Canales, General Councillor for Youth Pastoral, Sr. Alaide Deretti, General Councillor for the Missions, Sr. Giuseppina Teruggi, General Councillor for Social Communications. We are glad as well to have Sr. Runita Borja.

The precious presence of the FMA Provincials of the Indian Provinces along with their delegates makes this Encounter indeed auspicious. They certainly represent the many FMA who carry out the great charism of our founders on the Indian soil.
The heart of Don Bosco’s spiritual heritage, the Preventive System, is the well being of the young person which is expressed in his famous “3Ss” - ‘Salute-Scienza-Santita: Health-Knowledge-Holiness. These catered to the human, cultural and spiritual growth of the young, enabling them to be harmoniously integrated persons. Each of the participants have one big to resemble our Founders and make Education among the young a matter of the heart.
The Welcome Ceremony conducted by the students of Auxilium Content, Lonavla was indeed splendid and the solemn inaugural Eucharistic Celebration was something wonderful.
