The newly initiated novices were deeply immersed in prayer, reflecting their commitment to their spiritual journey. The Sisters and Novices of the Novitiate community conducted a meaningful prayer service at 6:30 PM, centered around the theme “Called to… Know, Connect, Love, Grow.” This theme beautifully encapsulated the essence of their new path and the values they are embracing.
Sr. Lourdu Adaikalasamy entrusted the novices to the care of the Novice Mistress, Sr. Arockia Mary Soosaimanickam, signifying the beginning of their formation under her guidance. The initiation ceremony was followed by a delightful fellowship meal, fostering a sense of community and shared joy.
