My sincere gratitude to Sr. Lazar Bernardine, the Vice Provincial who
coordinated the Provincial Community Day, held at Auxilium Convent, Therespuram – Tuticorin on 03 February
2024 centred on the theme “Presence that walks together,” taken from the Acts of the General Chapter XXIV. It
was very meaningful that the communities were asked to read and deepen the Acts of the General Chapter
XXIV, the Constitutions and the Scripture Passages. The exchange of messages and the hour of adoration by
each community has strengthened our bond of unity as a Province. My heartfelt thanks to Provincial
Councillors, Team members, the students, teachers, Educating Community and Salesian Family members,
Novices and all the communities, in a particular way to the communities of Keela Eral, M. Saveriarpuram and
Therespuram for animating various moments of the day. Special appreciation and gratitude to Rev. Fr. Dr.
Alphonse Lazar SDB – INT, who presided over the Eucharist, and the other Priests from the Community of
Therespuram who solemnized the moment. Thanks to all the Sisters who gracefully accomplished their given
responsibilities with a strong sense of belonging and actively participated in the Family Event.
