Gujarati Catholic Samaj of USA invites all members and faithful to Meet & Greet Sr. Chandrika CSSH, The Mother General and co-founder of The Cenacle Sisters of The Sacred Heart.

The below article from SAC website.

For the faithful who came to the evening Mass at San Salvatore in Onda Salvatore on Tuesday, August, 4th, 2015, there was more than one surprise. The Holy Mass with Fr. General Jacob Nampudakam was celebrated in English and during Mass three members of the Congregation three “Cenacle Sisters of the Sacred Heart“ from India, member-community of the UNION, received mission mandate to go to Peru. There they will establish its first international community, to work in conjunction with confreres from the St. Paul Province already ministering in collaboration with the Immaculate Conception Province. After the celebration everybody was invited to an excellent Indian meal.

The next morning the three sisters, together with their Mother General, another Sister and Fr. General they left for this distant mission, 3200 meters above sea level. They themselves will be barely aware of the challenges​ ahead of them, the extreme cold on the mountains, the different ​culture, the language, the solitude, the dangers on the road, the low atmospheric pressure etc. Yet they are “going out”​, to the periphery, as Pope Francis invites us all to do. Congratulations to Sr. Anjaly, Sr. Chetana and Sr. Poonan and may God protect them.

Gujarati Mass, Farewell and welcome Program by Gujarati Catholic Parivar, Canada.
2015-06-28 15:30 - 21:00 | St. David’s Church, 2601 Major Mackenzie Drive, Maple, L6A 1C6, Canada
Dear Friends,

He smiled with us, he played with us, he shared our sorrow, he prayed for us, he preached us the word of God, he offered masses for our health and well-being, he offered prayers for our departed ones, he motivated us, he inculcated a sense of togetherness among us and became a part of our family. Friends, as most of you’ll know, Fr. Justin is going back to India and it’s time to say Good Bye, until we meet again.

Fr. Justin has been in Canada for approximately 6 years and has witnessed almost every occasion of our community. Whether be it blessing our new homes or celebrating baptisms and holy communions; whether be it birthdays or community functions, whether be it offering mass for our health and wellbeing or praying for our departed ones, whether be it solving our personal problems or providing references for our jobs, he has always found time for us from his busy schedule. He was appointed as the first Chaplain of our Gujarati Catholic Community in the Greater Toronto Area. He has done tremendous work through St. David’s Parish by helping our community in the Ahmedabad diocese and we are pretty sure that he has, in some way or the other, been helpful to us and enhanced our lives.

As a small gesture of reciprocation, we have organized a mass and farewell function for Fr. Justin on Sunday, 28 June, 2015 as well as will be welcoming Fr. Masilamani who has been appointed as a new Chaplain of our community. Fr. Mani is an enthusiastic and energetic priest and our community will definitely benefit from his service in coming days.

Fr. Anton Macwan and Fr. Justin Susai will also be present among us to celebrate the mass on 28th June. Fr. Anton Macwan will be on his way to Nova Scotia for his six month study program at Coady Institute.

Program:

Date: Sunday, 28th June, 2015

Mass in Gujarati : 3:30 pm

Farewell and welcome program: 5:00 pm onward

Venue: St. David’s Church, 2601 Major Mackenzie Drive, Maple, L6A 1C6

Contribution: $ 15 per person (Children 10 years and under at no cost)

RSVP to this email by 14 June 2015 in order to help us properly organize this program.

Friends, we would request you to remain present on this event which would be blessed by four priests and wish Fr. Justin all the best in his new journey to serve the lord and his people.

Peace,

Gujarati Catholic Parivar Canada
