On April 18, the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth celebrate Foundation Day in Nepal, commemorating over four decades of ministry in education, health services, social work, and disaster response.
It all started on this day in 1979 when the first Sisters arrived in Kathmandu to embark on their mission. Since then, they have built a remarkable legacy in the country. When a devastating earthquake struck in 2015, the Sisters were on the ground, providing critical aid and support to those in need. In times of poverty and injustice, they have consistently taken the initiative to uplift and empower communities.
Through their tireless efforts in education, countless Nepali children have been granted the opportunity to learn, grow, and pursue their dreams.
Today, we celebrate the impact and commitment of the Sisters presence in Nepal.
Congratulations to each of you! You have touched the lives of hundreds and hundreds of people by the ministries in which you are engaged but even more by your presence as a Christ-bearer! Thank you.
Ives lucky enough 11 years ago to witness the work of the Sisters in Nepal!
How wonderful it is to have you in Nepal at this time and for these forty years. Ma your presence continue to uplift those at the margins of society.
Thanks to all the SCNs who have ministered in Nepal over these past 40 years. What a beautiful country and I am so blest to have visited multiple times. Of course as most know my favorite food “momos” are there too!
