Dear Sisters and Friends
As the end of 2024 approaches we reflect back on the wonderful blessings of this year and look forward in hope to the JUBILEE YEAR of 2025.
‘Joy springs from a grateful heart’ says Pope Francis. Looking back through the year, we have received many blessings through you: our mission partners, friends, benefactors, associates, well-wishers and our Sisters from across the globe. With deep gratitude we express our thanks to everyone who has been journeying with us.
This newsletter brings good news of joy and hope from the children and women who have been blessed by your gifts. In my recent visit to India it was a great joy to experience the missions and I was particularly struck by the children at Chatterhat. Through your support we have been able to provide them dining tables and benches. It was the first time they enjoyed their meal at the table and their excitement was boundless! And more…the joy of getting clean drinking water!!
It is your Partnership with the RNDM sisters throughout the world that enables such a difference to be made in the lives of many children and families. On behalf of all our beneficiaries, we thank you most sincerely for your ongoing generosity.
May the true spirit of Christmas be with you and your family throughout the coming New Year.
Smitha Thomas, RNDM
