Silver Jubilee Year in Botswana

Posted by Kacie Emmerson

September 6, 2024

The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth express gratitude to God for guiding their mission and service to the people of Botswana over the past 24 years. As we begin the Silver Jubilee year of dedicated presence within the Church and alongside the people of God in Botswana, we honor the SCNs who have ministered in Kanye, Lobatse, and Metsimotlabe since 2000. Their work has included education, care for the sick, and pastoral and social outreach.

To celebrate this milestone and open the Silver Jubilee year, the Sisters and Associates in Botswana will gather for a prayer service on Sept. 8. We join them in thanksgiving to God and the people of Botswana, praying that this Jubilee year brings abundant blessings and wonders.

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.
