My dear friends,<br />
<br />
At the outset, I Wish each one of you and your family members, A Very Happy and Peaceful Deepavali. May this festival of lights, bring light into our less fortunate bretheren.<br />
<br />
My earnest plea to each one of you is to light up the young hearts of our very poor school children studying at our Institution in Mahim, by sponsoring their education. You can do this by sending in your contribution by an account payee cheque in favour of Canossa High School, Mahim, and send it to our School address of Mahim i.e. Station Road, Mahim West, Mumbai 400016, India. Any amount is welcome as I have been told that the funds which were coming in year in and year out, has suddenly been stopped and hence the School Management is in a quandry.<br />
As you all are aware that the Canossians have always reached out to the poor children in uplifting them, giving them education and launching them into the world. All this requires funds, and as a major Trust donor has stopped funding this project, it has become very difficult for our Sisters. Hence, I plead of each of you to please contribute to this worthy cause.<br />
Please write your name, address, and batch on the back of the cheque to enable us acknowledge the same.<br />
I am confident this time too, all of you will reach out, and help our Sisters in their project.<br />
Thank you in anticipation,<br />
<br />
Mrs Gregorina Mitra<br />

Dear Canossians,<br />
<br />
I have been deliberating for sometime whether I should put up this post. I am now convinced that I must share my experience with all of you.<br />
<br />
My visit to the mission station of the Canossians at Shrirampur, Maharashtra, on 21st September 2014.<br />
<br />
Being invited by my Religion Teacher, Sr. Fatima Rebello for the silver jubilee of their Insitute, I gladly accepted the same. Not being able to travel alone, I requested Pamela, Secretary of the Ex Students Association of Canossa Mahim to accompany me. She very graciously accepted the same.<br />
<br />
At one time this mission station was to be shut down. Sr. Sheila, the Superior took up the challenge and believe it or not, she has made it work. With little or no income, Sr. Sheila started with the Kindergarden School, graduated to Teacher's Training Course (through Karnataka University) and then to the English Speaking Classes conduced by Sr. Fatima. With this generation of income, the Mission station is able to sustain itself.<br />
<br />
It did give me great joy to attend the function, which was so well organised ( I have to pull up my socks as far as the Organisation skills) and to over 500 people were served lunch.<br />
<br />
At the Eucharist, we had the couples who were not officially blessed with the Sacrament of Marriage, living in far off villages, brought at the Table of the Lord and blessed and exchanged rings. This was a ceremony beyond me, to see even very old couples with grand children exchanging rings.<br />
<br />
The Sisters of Shriramput alongwith their Superior Sr. Sheila visit the remote villages everyday, teaching them basic cleanliness, duties towards their families and how they can support each other, financially and otherwise.<br />
<br />
Any of you wanting to visit this mission station could get in touch with me or Sr. Fatima Rebello, and I am sure we will only be too happy to welcome you.<br />
<br />

PROUD TO BE AN EX STUDENT<br />
<br />
1. Visit to our Canossian Talasari Mission Centre - This was an experience to cherish and remember. Our Canossian Nuns are working zealously with the unfortunate ones, specially with Leperosy Patients. They have a fully equipped hospital and a medical centre in a remote village in Talasari, where our nuns attend daily to the sick villagers tirelessly and with alot of involvement and devotion. We had given them a cheque of Rs10,000/- towards their Mission and hope to do better.<br />
<br />
I can say alot about our Mission Centre, but seeing is believing. One must try and visit our Mission Centre to have a first hand feel of how our Canossian Sisters are working and in what conditions.<br />
<br />
2. Teachers Day - we went to the School today and feliciated the Teachers with a Basket of Roses and a Plaque to be kept in the Staff Room. Ofcourse we just spent barely fifteen minutes with the Teachers, as Sr. Margaret (Principal) had arranged a funfilled day for them, with Mass, Breakfast, Games and Lunch and not to mention a token of appreciation to each one of them.<br />
<br />
3. ESAC has sponsored five trophies to Std X Students by contribution Rs7000/- to the same.<br />
These trophies will be awarded every year commencing this year for -<br />
<br />
<b>3.1 BEST STUDENT OF THE YEAR</b><br />
<b>3.2 A STUDENT EXCELLING IN SPORTS</b><br />
<b>3.3. A STUDENT EXCELLING IN EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES</b><br />
<b>3.4 A STUDENT EXCELLING IN MORAL VALUES</b><br />
<b>3.5 AN ALL ROUND STUDENT</b><br />
<br />
ESAC has initially this year given five Rolling Trophies to the above students, which are kept with the School.<br />
<br />
4. We have also given a Scholarship of Rs5000/- each to our Night School Student of Std V and Std VIII, which has commenced this year, having the highest marks in ENGLISH.<br />
<br />
Ofcourse in the near future coming up will be Sisters Day etc. We will keep you posted on the acitivites.<br />

It would be of immense help if u could help in improving our funds with any small amount in favour of<br />
Canossa High School, Ex Students Association. This cheque could be sent to Sr. Audrey, Principal, Canossa High School, Mahim. We are requesting for this help so that ESAC can reach out to our very own Pragati Shikshan girls, ESAC Scholarship for the most needy child in Canossa, Secondary and Primary School etc. etc. We will put up our distribution of the amounts on this blogspot. We are sure many of you will contribute to our projects.Thanks and God Bless.<br />

Mary and Joseph’s long trip from Nazareth, the Shepherd’s path over their fields, the wise men’s arduous trek across the desert. Jesus’ birth causes each of us to set out on a personal journey- a journey to meet this God who so humbly and surprisingly came into this world as a child lying in a manger!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"> </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">The waiting of the Holy Family was interrupted by Rome’s decree - what inconvenient timing!-s o they set off! The way from Nazareth to Bethlehem was long, 90 miles by donkey and on foot.. Mary had borne the anguish of wondering what Joseph thought of her pregnancy. We can imagine the two pondering the ancient prophecies, searching for understanding to ease the questions in their hearts. Did they share their fears with one another, or were they calmly silent because it was enough for them to rest in obedience to God’s will?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"> </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Did Mary fret a bit as she packed, wondering whether to take the swaddling bands she had made- or would they be back home in their own village before her time came? Did Joseph cast a last look longingly back over his shoulder as Nazareth’s security passed out of sight and the way stretched ahead with a pregnant wife at his side? Yet the same road that led away from familiarity and comfort led straight to the city where God’s promise was to be fulfilled: “And you Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah, for from you shall come a ruler who is to shepherd my people Israel.” (Mt. 2:6)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"> </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Have I ever experienced something fresh coming to birth in my circumstances once I have been willing to set out on a new road, leaving behind my old, familiar routines? Jesus, may I be just as willing to follow the road to you as Mary and Joseph were.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"> </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Dearest Canossians and Friends,</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">At Christmas and all through the New Year 2011, I wish each of you and your loved ones, the exciting freshness of a NEW LIFE akin to the Christ Child as also new discoveries along new roads!</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" >A Holy, exciting and challenging Spirit of Christmas and the New Year is my fond wish to you.</span><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" >God Bless you all.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Sr Audrey D'Souza</span>ESAChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07983653606513119666noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220708770261529203.post-84081192798941095042010-12-08T14:29:00.003+05:302010-12-10T03:09:59.682+05:30ESAC wishes you a Happy, Holy & Blessed FeastDecember 8th is celebrated as a holy day commemorating the Immaculate Conception of Mary.<br /><br />So, what of this festival of the Immaculate Conception of Mary? This dogma of the Roman Catholic Church states that Mary was conceived without sin, and that she never sinned throughout her entire life.<br /><br />Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. Through the centuries the Church has become ever more aware that Mary, "full of grace" through God, was redeemed from the moment of her conception. That is what the dogma of the Immaculate Conception confesses, as Blessed Pope Pius IX proclaimed on December 8, 1854:<span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"> "The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Saviour of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin."</span> — Catechism of the Catholic Church.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/liturgicalyear/calendar/day.cfm?date=2010-12-08">For more information, you can click this link</a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">ESAC, on behalf of Sr. Audrey, Mother Superior and all our dear Sisters, wishes you a very Happy and Holy Feast.
