With joy and gratitude we rejoice in the Lord as we celebrate the 140 years of the great missionary expedition of our six sisters who set sail to South America. It was on this day that these enthusiastic, young and courageous FMA under the guidance of Don Bosco and Mother Mazzarello left for Uruguay. The flame of God’s love, the desire to make Him known and loved to serve Him in the poor was their driving force which led them to leave their beloved land and loved ones to venture into the unknown.
To celebrate this feast in a worthy manner we kept the missionary week from 16-21st November. During this week each Sr. animated the prayer moment and gave the ‘Goodnight’ on their life. These days of preparation helped us to be more zealous and joyful missionaries where were we are. This also made us aware to cultivate the flame of fire within us. On 21nd November we kept the memory of 140th year of first missionary expedition and we began the celebration with a vigil service. Next morning the Morning Prayer was animated in a creative way. 
The solemn thanksgiving Eucharist was celebrated by Rev. Fr. Allwyn D’Souza. Later we enjoyed the delicious meal prepared by the community sisters. It was indeed a day of joy and thanksgiving.
