The Mission Continues

Our Lady of Perpetual Succor, Chembur

The Pentecost Rally in Vakola was followed by invitations to minister to four of the neighboring communities: Chembur (May 28), Kurla (May 29), Pestom Sagar (May 30) and Kalina (May 31). I counselled people in the morning (a total exceeding 100 over four mornings!) and preached to various Church groups in the evening. My hosts during the first half of the mission were an old school friend named Joseph John and his wife Jacqueline, and during the latter half, three very sweet and hospitable nuns in a convent. Yet another new bed!

I ended the mission in Bombay with talks to zonal leaders about the School of Discipleship and how to implement it. As this is being used as a test for the rest of Bombay, I pray that the Holy Spirit makes it a great success. To help the Holy Spirit do this is a lady of extreme devotion and commitment - Leela Moraes - who was also instrumental in making this entire mission in Bombay possible ... and successful. My heartfelt gratitude to her and her teams.
