“In Rome, we could touch, breathe and see the roots of our Christian faith,” said Sister Lucy Mannukulangara from New Delhi.
She was one of 15 nuns from Indian Salesian provinces who took part in The Project Mornese, which involves prayer and pilgrimages to Rome, Turin and Mornese, places associated with the Salesian congregation.
“It was not only a pilgrimage, it was also a time of grace and a call to transformation,” said Sister Josephine Savarimuthu who works in Warrangal, Andhra Pradesh.
Thirty-one English-speaking nuns from Asia, North America and Europe took part in the June 1-29 program which is offered yearly in English, French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.
The program aims to help Salesian nuns absorb the charism of their founders Saints John Bosco and Maria Mazzarello.
