Mangaluru, Nov 21: The tiny sapling planted by Venerable Mother Veronica, the founder of the Apostolic Carmel Congregation in the year 1870 has grown as a mighty tree. She was ever attentive and attuned to the will of God and fulfilled her desires with heroic faith, generosity and a spirt of joyful surrender. St Agnes PU College conducted various activities from November 13 to 19 to remember and celebrate the life of Venerable Mother Veronica.
To help students get a deeper understanding of her saintly life, Mother Veronica's photos and videos on her life was displayed on the television projector. A digital painting competition, poetry writing competition and quiz on Mother Veronica was held for all the students. Students decorated the notice boards creatively with Venerable Mother Veronica’s gems and life.
