Convocation to the Provincial Chapter

“Look to the past with gratitude, live the present with passion, embrace the future with hope, and then, listen to God, where life calls…” (Pope Francis)

With immense gratitude to God for His accompaniment and abundance of blessings upon the life and mission of our Province, I, Sr. Ophelia Fernandes, along with my Council, convoked the 3^rd Provincial Chapter of Election of Nirmala Province which will be held from 11^th to 16^th December, 2020, at Snehsadan, Nirmala Provincialate, Igatpuri (M.S). The Theme chosen for our Provincial Chapter 2020, is: “Itinerant – Joyfully Incarnating God’s love among us and within us in our Peripheries”

Explaination of the Logo :

- The inner white circle represents the Eucharist which is the centre of our lives.     

- The images of persons in the second circle signify that we are strengthened and united with the -Eucharistic Lord.

- The persons in the outer circle symbolize each one of us, moving out to the peripheries carrying the love and strength we receive from the Eucharist, bringing about justice and peace (symbol of JPIC), giving a helping hand to the needy (symbol of helping hand), empowering women and girl child (symbol of girl) and giving hope to the hopeless (plant).

May the Holy Spirit, journey with us during these sacred days of our Provincial Chapter, 2020. We count on your prayerful support for the success of our Chapter, very especially during this pandemic time.
