October 3, 2017: October 1st marks a great day for the Bethany sisters all over; not only the celebration of the feast of St Therese but also the Juniors’ Day. This year, it was a unique experience for the junior sisters of the Bethany Motherhouse community thanks to Sr Rose Celine, our Superior General.
The feast began with nine days of novena consisting of various aspects in the life of St Therese, thought lifting prayer conducted on 29th with the theme, “My way is one that is full of confidence and love,” meaningful and soul-lifting Eucharistic Mass offered by Fr Amith SJ and exhilarating and fun filled recreational programme by the seniors and super senior sisters. They made this day a memorable one. Love is shown in action and indeed the sisters of BMH have shown their love for us through their loving and exemplary life.
The 20 juniors, witnessed the exhilarating programme consisting of prayer, dance, jokes, and heart capturing scenes from the life of St Therese and a beautiful poem composed in honour of the Junior sisters by Sr Marie Ange. We remain grateful to you dear Sisters and hats-off to you.
Wish you dear Juniors, “A happy Day!”
It’s your day, that makes us glad and gay,
Sure, you should have a day:
