We live in a village called Mulagalampadu in the Diocese of Eluru, Andhra Pradesh. The people, including the Catholics, are poor and it is sad. Their faith remains weak, they find little value and meaning in receiving the Sacraments. Along with the Community Sisters, Sr. Sugirtha took much effort and chose 7 poor children to prepare them for Baptism and First Holy Communion. These children are from poor families, and could not afford to have proper clothes for this happy day. Our community helped them so that they could receive the Sacraments with dignity and joy. On the 14th of October 2018, the children received the Sacraments of Baptism and First Holy Communion. This indeed was a joyful moment for the children, their parents and for all of us, giving glory to God.
