New mission in Sri Lanka

 

On 8th of November 2014 we the Claretian Sisters in Sri Lanka started a new mission in the diocese of Chilaw, Parish Kotttapitiya. The blessing of the house, done by the Bishop Valence Mendis marked a joyful and historical moment for our Congregation extending our claretian presence and service for the evangelization. The people of Kottapitiya Parish and the Diocese of Chilaw expressed their support and help.

We felt the pastoral care of the Shepherd of the Diocese, the support of the Parish Priest and parishioners. The new community formed by sisters Thushari, Roshani and Robecca will attend the pastoral needs especially of the minorities and youth, in this coastal zone on the western side of the Island.

In the starting of the new mission the sisters from the first community in Colombo were present together with the Claretian fathers and other religious.
