Continuation of the visit in India

On the 7^th of August, after finishing our specific and fraternal visit to Antonia Paris Nilaya and Nirmala Nivas communities, we went to Bangalore, where we had the opportunity to visit the Provincial headquarters, the Theology and Publication House of the Claretian Missionaries. From there we proceeded to Sanyasa, the Institute of Consecrated Life, run by the Claretians in Carmelaram, where Sr. Geraldine is teaching and working as a staff member.  It was a joyful moment to visit her there. We were invited to lunch, a special moment to share fraternally with the community of missionaries and students who reside in this centre. We also visited the community of Claret Nivas and the Novitiate house of the Claretians. In all these places we felt the fraternal welcome of our brothers and we enjoyed the time we shared with them.

We returned to Bangalore, where we got the train to Nagpur, which took 19 hours to reach our next community in Butibori. We were warmly and fraternally welcomed by the sisters of the Claret Bhavan community. We will stay in this community until 13th August for the fraternal visit and from then we will go to Sri Lanka, where we will visit the other three communities.

We are grateful to the sisters for their fraternal love, warm welcome and collaboration in the workshop of Administration and Secretary.

Thank you dear sisters!
