Covid-19 pandemic has been making the best out of life, keeping in mind the present restrictions and limitations. The Annual Retreat for sisters of Southern Province was organized on the life of St Therese in different centers, in groups of 20 to 30 sisters. The theme of the retreat was ‘The Spiritual Childhood and Abandonment to God.’

Retreat for the first batch of sisters was held at Bethany Provincial House, Chevayur from 28th August to 5th September 2020. Sr Santhosh Maria the Provincial Superior preached the retreat for all the groups. With her spiritual calibre, humility and deep knowledge and experience of the spirituality of St Therese of Lisieux our patroness, she led the sisters into unique God experience. The retreat began with an invitation from the Book of Song of Songs Ch 6:13, saying, ‘Return, return that we may look upon you’. It was indeed a soul searching faith Journey with St Therese, the Second Patroness of the Congregation.
