Bethany set foot on the holy grounds of Sacred Heart Parish Hungpung on the 12th of November 2021, at the invitation of Most Rev Dominic Lumon DD, Archbishop of Imphal. November 14, 2021 was a red letter day for the Congregation of the Sisters of the Little Flower of Bethany, Silchar Province as well as for the Archdiocese of Imphal, as Bethany Sisters were officially welcomed and incorporated into the mission of the Archdiocese at Hungpung. Most Rev Fr John Kashiprii, officiated at the solemn Eucharistic celebration, along with Fr Gabriel Mayopam and five other priests of the Diocese. Sr Lucious BS, the Provincial Superior, Sr Harsha, Provincial Councillor, sisters from Bethany Convent, Canchipur, along with a large number of parishioners, church elders, office bearers of various church organizations and catechists, witnessed the erection of Bethany Convent in Hungpung, Ukhrul District, Manipur. |
During the solemn Eucharistic celebration, Rev Fr John Kashiphrii, Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Imphal imparted his blessings on the Sisters and blessed their abode, put up by the parish. He urged us to bear witness to Christ through our life in collaboration with other religious communities. The Eucharistic celebration was concelebrated by Rev Fr Gabriel Mayopam the Parish Priest, Fr Joseph the Asst Parish Priest, Fr Francis, another priest from the vicinity, religious sisters of SABS and SJSM congregations. After the blessing of the convent there was a short felicitation programme. The welcome gesture by the Tangkhul community made a great impression and left us with fascination. Moved by the Charism of the Institute and spirit of the Founder the sisters will involve in education ministry and pastoral activities. We remain ever greateful to Most Rev Dominic Lumon, Archbishop of Imphal Diocese, Sr Rose Celine BS, Superior General of Bethany, Sr Lucious BS, the Provincial Superior of Silchar, for the trust they have placed on the pioneering members- Sr Philomina Secundas, the Superior of the community, Sr Therou Marina Pao and Sr Catherine Pao. We remain ever grateful to Fr Gabriel Mayopam for providing us with a comfortable home and for his direction and guidance for our mission in this place. A word of thanks to Fr Joseph Thohrii, Fr Francis Nganingmi, Sisters of SABS and SJSM for their support and encouragement. We thank each and everyone for their love, care, sharing and prayers. |
