Summer 2010 - West Bengal - Our Lady of the Missions in Kolkata (Calcutta)July 1st - I arrived to a great welcome at the Provincial House at Darga road, Park Circus in downtown Calcutta, now known as Kolkata. Sr Smitha (Provincial) and Sr Minu (Bursar) rescued me at the airport. I made it back to Darga road for breakfast with Sr Mary Sebastian (Superior), Sr Pushpa (about to disappear to New Zealand) and Sr Binu (studying education and psychology in the city). Delighted to be here. I met Mamma Francis in the afternoon - an amazing 97 year old sister who thoroughly enjoys life !!
Much of my time has been spent at the Formation house in Barasat, in the lush green coutryside, about 90 minutes north of the city centre. I've given time to twenty young aspirants and postulants on language, pronunciation and creative writing !!
Its wonderful!
