The blessings of celebrating Christmas in an Indigenous village in India

Christmas among the poor and simple Indigenous people of the remote village of Ratanpur, in the Aizawl Diocese, was a unique experience. My heart remains there. I constantly ask myself if I can do something for them.

Pastoral family visits: an ardent desire to go to the people

From the beginning of my ministry, I have wanted to go to the villages. It's my passion. The Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate participate in the life of people by visiting families, sharing in their sorrows and joys.
