Dear Sisters,
Loving greetings from the Provincial House, Kodambakkam.
I made my visitation in Sri Lanka from 2nd to 15th March 2017. I was happy to meet the sisters and the young people. I am glad to see that the mission at Sri Lanka started in the year 2008 is steadily and progressively developing in various aspects. Now there are 5 communities and one presence in which our sisters are dedicating themselves joyfully and generously in 5 dioceses of Colombo, Anuradhapura, Mannar, Jaffna and Batticaloa. The Bishops do appreciate the commitment and the apostolic enthusiasm of our sisters. People are indeed happy to collaborate with our sisters. Children and young people are joyful in the Salesian atmosphere and the Salesian educative method with which the sisters deal with them is new to them. They breathe the air of Salesianity that enhance them to be free and assimilate the Gospel values.
