It delights to record those lives which have been ignited because of the timely and impactful interventions of the sisters.

Harold D’Souza shared his incredible journey from slavery to the White House, and now of his inspiring Blockbuster Biopic Film being released in 2022. Harold D’Souza spoke; ‘the mother who raises the child is greater than the mother who gives birth to the child’. He adored the Bethany Sisters for their humanity towards vulnerable population. Simple living, high thinking are the values of Bethany Sisters spoke Harold D’Souza.

The Doctoral Thesis of Sr. Jessy Maria titled “Academic Performance of Adolescents in Relation to their Self- Esteem and Social Support”was introduced by Sr Christine BS. This thesis, makes a significant contribution in the field of Social Work and Education specially to Parents, Teachers, School counselors and Adolescents. She speaks as a woman religious to the parents and teachers how they could contribute in building up the Self Esteem of today’s adolescents under their care.  She also makes aware the teachers and parents how important it is to support children under their care and journey with the adolescents in their academics, extracurricular activities and in their adventures.

Addressing the gathering Bishop Gerald Isaac Lobo, spoke the mind of Pope Francis who is shares the concern for the refugees and migrants and appealing the whole world to welcome, accept and treat them as brothers and sisters. He also appreciated Sr Shanthi Priya for launching the book on the frontier mission of the Bethany sisters on the occasion of the centenary of the congregation.
‘How a common human being has the power to change the outcome of human trafficking, by sharing Alwyn Saldhana a local Mangalorean supporting Eyes Open International in prevention and education of community members in Mangalore Region’ reflected Harold D’Souza.

Sr Rose Celine, Superior General, in her felicitation recalled with gratitude the vision of the Founder, pioneers and the sisters which took Bethany to the margins bringing hope and new life to the marginalized. She commended the works of the sisters even beyond boundaries of the country. She felicitated profusely Sr Shanthi Priya and Sr Dr Jessy Maria for their commendable work of writings and compiling the daring efforts of the sisters.

The launching and felicitation program were compared by Sr Lilitta BS, General Councilor and Sr Judy Varghese BS. Sr Mariette, General Councilor proposed the vote of thanks recognizing everyone who graced the occasion.

Harold D’Souza believes starvation for love does not cease by receiving love; starvation for love ceases only be giving love. D’Souza visited India to sign on the ‘Life Right Agreement’ for his Biopic Blockbuster Film.

Mother Theresa rightly said; “Do not waste time judging people, just love them”.
