VINCENTIAN SPIRITUALITY Seminars

From mid-November to mid-December 2024 Sister Maria Robb and Sister Maureen Tinkler spent time with our Sisters in the Province of North India. They had been invited by Sr Teresa Parakel DC, Provincial, to lead five "4-day Seminars" involving over two hundred Sisters to cover topics which included: Our Charism, our Founders, our Pioneer Sisters, our Spirit and Vocation, an overview of our Constitutions & Statutes, Commitment and Vows. It was a wonderful experience being with our Sisters in another province. We come from different parts of the world with different cultures and languages and yet, we share the same vocation: To give ourselves to God in community life for the service of those living in poverty.  Whilst in North India we were based in Berhampur and Kharagpur, but we also had the opportunity to visit some of the people served by our Sisters in nurseries, schools, parishes, clinics, homes for the elderly, homes for people with disabilities and a home for men who are destitute.
