Mangalore: 12 Bethany Nuns Celebrate Golden Jubilee of Religious Life

Sr Celine Vas

Mangalore, Jan 14: "You are like the watchman who is faithful and watchful to guard the estate of his owner so are you 13 Jubilerians. You have been faithful to your vows of chastity, obedience and poverty which you promised to your God on your first profession day 50 years and 25 years ago," said Bishop Dr Aloysius Paul D’Souza, who was the main celebrant for the thanksgiving Eucharist celebrated at the Bethany Provincial House, at Vamanjoor here on Monday Januar 14.

Twelve sisters of Mangalore province namely Sr M Alwyn, Sr M Angelica, Sr M Antonine, Sr M Camillus, Sr M Concetta, Sr M Florencia, Sr M Helen Mary, Sr M Leonisa, Sr M Milburge, Sr M Patrick, Sr M Raymond, Sr M Severine celebrated their golden jubilee of religious life and Sr M Lisa her silver jubilee.

Sr Mariette, the Provincial of Mangalore province hailing the contributions made by the jubilarians to the Society and congregation said, “God did not see you ability or disability but your availability to fulfill your role in the Kingdom of God. We appreciate your commitment and dedication for the past 50 and 25 years of vowed life. Your are precious to us and we thank you for your generous service to the society in different places to various people."

They were felicitated by the Provincial with mementos, while Sr Leonita and Sr Celine Vas enumerated in brief the success story of each jubilerian.

Fr Richard Vas, the brother of Sr M Concetta (one of the jubilerians) also greeted the jubilee sisters saying "Bethany sisters are known for their simplicity of life and cordiality. The only test for the religious is to have a place in the heart of the people."

Fr Richard Vas, Fr James D’Souza, Fr Ajith Menezes, Fr Rohith D’Costa and Fr Roshan Crasta were concelebrants.

After the Eucharistic celebration Sr Concetta thanked the Bishop and the guests.

Sr Christella, the assistant provincial welcomed the gathering, Sr Helen Mary responded on behalf of jubilerians their gratitude. Sr M Lisa proposed vote of thanks and Sr Rekha compered the programme.

    Twelve jubilerians with a total dedication of sixhundred years of combined service in the Bethany convent is a magnanimous achievement that speaks million words. These nuns must have spent so much of their precious time of life in so many sacrifices as well as prayers that must have reached out and touched so many thousands of people that are near and dear to them.

    Bethany nuns have given us their initial education thru which we have created a strong foundation of discipline in all that we believe and cherish in life.

    May God bless the Bethany Nuns in every step of their way. We shall always remain grateful to the Berthany nuns. (By the way, where is Sr.Wilberta?  Is she further promoted elsewhere?)
