Sister Mukta Marandi urged stronger legal protections for migrant workers during a regional gathering in Burdwan, West Bengal. She encouraged greater knowledge of labor laws and access to benefits, compensation and emergency assistance as dioceses plan Migrant Resource Centers across Bengal and Sikkim in India.
Raksha Bandhan is a traditional Indian festival that celebrates the bond of love, care, respect, and protection between brothers and sisters. On this day, a sister traditionally ties a rakhi (a sacred or decorative thread) around her brother’s wrist. In return, the brother expresses his love and commitment to care for and support her. Gifts and sweets are also commonly exchanged.
This beautiful tradition was creatively and meaningfully celebrated by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in Vasai.
Sister Rose Plathottathil, second from right, visited Nazareth today while traveling in the United States with family. After attending events in Minneapolis, she stopped at the Motherhouse on her way to Houston, Texas, with her brother and niece. Sister Rose serves in Rajgir, overseeing a hostel for children.
So moved by these “shares”. What I kept hearing was the thread that binds us all….the love of Christ. Beautiful.
This is such a beautiful testimony of the SCN presence in Belize for 50 years. Thank you!
What inspirational testimonies! I heard many reflections about being transformed, seeing the world with new eyes, and recognizing a need, and difficulty, to change from long inculcated attitudes and beliefs. For me, this video is a witness to creating opportunities to provide for cultural exchange wherever possible. Peace and unity is built one relationship at a time. The many expressions of gratitude to God and the Belizian people shared, give praise to God and the recognition of God’s presence when leading Mary Lynn to establish this mission both back then, and now! Abundant thanks to all who shared and to the creators of this video!
Happy Foundation Day to all in Belize and to all of you who served the Church and the community there. Your testimonies speak to how you have been moved and transformed by your experiences, grown closer to God, and been enriched by your relationships. May our loving God bless you all, and thank you for sharing! I especially remember and celebrate the lives of Sisters Mary Lynn Fields and Anna Marie Nalley on this day.
This was just Beautiful! Thank you to all the SCN’s who made this journey and paved the way for people like me to go there and learn about this beautiful country and people. I will always be grateful for my times in Belize!
