Province of Immaculate Conception, East India 

CELEBRATING WITH LASA

This year LASA took an active part in all the proposed programmes, chalked out for the year, in spite of the Pandemic

Wedding Anniversary – 18^th August

In keeping alive the Chapter theme,  “Family for Families”  all the Communities in the Province celebrated Couples Day creatively highlighting the role of ‘A Good Christian Couple’.

Divine Providence – 26^th October

The Provincial Council decided that this year we reach out concretely to a poor/needy  family on the Feast of Divine Providence. So each Community, according to their reality carried out various works of Mercy.

The LASA collaborated generously with the Communities according to their abilities. The families experienced the hand of Providence in their lives!!!.

Foundation Day – 10^th December

As part of the Sesquicentennial Jubilee Celebrations a one day programme was conducted in the entire Province for the LASA on the topics “History of our Congregation, Spirituality of our Founders and Mother Enrichetta and on our Indian Mission”.

FORMING THE LASA

Reading the Word of God Each LASA meeting begins with time for reading the Word, reflecting and sharing on its’ application in their daily lives.

   In our Spirituality

Besides the regular input given in each LASA meeting on our Founders, we used the Feasts of the Congregation  as a priority platform to share in depth about our Spirituality.

In Family Prayer

The grounding given to the LASA during the regular meetings, took root and wings in various ways during the time of Pandemic.

Since they were confined to their families, they used Zoom platform/ Google Meet, to pray with one another during the Marian months of May and October.

In Serving the Poor

It was beautiful to see the LASA reaching out spontaneously to the poor and needy, with their gestures of love.  Using different occasions, they contributed their mite, in spite of their, ‘financial crunch’.
