Trichy
On the 29th of May 2024, a wave of joy and spiritual fervor swept through the hearts of the Sisters of the Cross of Chavanod, IPN-Trichy, as they celebrated the First Profession of three novices Aksiliya John Kennady from Trichy, Kolostica Kandulna from Amravati, and Malini Pattamajhi from Kolkata on the 223rd birthday of our Mother Foundress Claudine Echernier. The solemn Holy Eucharist commenced at 6:30 AM in the serene Novitiate Chapel, presided over by Rev. Fr. (Dr.) Andrew De Rose, Rector of St. Paul’s Seminary, Trichy, along with other esteemed priests. The theme for this blessed occasion was “Caught up by His Love, Committed for His Service,” encapsulating the deep spiritual commitment of the novices. The liturgy was a beautiful and meaningful expression of faith, thoughtfully and creatively orchestrated by the novices themselves. This personal touch added a special significance to the ceremony, reflecting their sincere devotion and readiness to embrace their religious calling.
The vows of these three newly professed sisters were graciously received by Rev. Sr. Lourdu Adaikalasamy, the Province Animator of Trichy. Her role in this sacred event symbolized the support and guidance of the wider religious community. The ceremony was enriched by the presence of dear sisters from various communities and other congregations, adding a vibrant and supportive atmosphere to the celebration. Their attendance underscored the unity and shared joy within the religious community, creating an uplifting environment for the novices. The courageous ‘YES’ to their spiritual calling is a testament to their deep faith and dedication. As they embark on this new journey, we extend our warmest wishes and God’s blessings upon them. May they continue to be inspired by His love and committed to His service.
