As our Congregation celebrates the 165^th year of its foundation, we the Indian provinces have a twin reasons to thank the Lord for His continuous graces and blessings. Because on November 14, 1947 our pioneers of the Indian foundation of Sisters Adorers Mother Antonia Mene, Sr Jovita Fernandez Gabanes, Sr Maria Luz Martinez Caballero and Sr Adelaida Romero Amillano, from Spain landed in India, we humbly thank the gift of each one of them who toiled to place a tabernacle for the Lord among our Hindu brethren.                                                               

As we enter in to the 75^th year of our presence in India, the Indian provinces gratefully acknowledge the Lord’s Mighty Hands that led our Pioneer Sisters who journeyed through thick and thin of life with determined spirit and   courage.  May their noble souls rest in peace.           Our Pioneer sisters

The tiny seed which they planted in Puri, Orissa has today grown in to a huge tree that spread out in India and its neighbouring countries. Owing to distance and easy administrative purpose the Province of India bifurcated in to two Provinces in the year 2000 as Province of Kolkata and Mumbai. Today they have 14 and 13 houses respectively with their presence in one foreign country each – Nepal and Philippines

Like Micaela, we believe that “liberation is possible”. Embracing their human frailty and encouraging their process of self-discovery that leads to healing, inner freedom, personal growth and wholeness, we advocate the promotion and social re-integration of women and girls, exploited by prostitution and various forms of social evils.

In this 75^th year of the presence of the Congregation in the Indian soil, both provinces are getting ready to celebrate it meaningfully. The Kolkata province is already in it by organising chain adorations for the entire year by all our houses, online monthly recollections in turn by each house, reading and reflecting on Congregational documents, praying rosaries at the same time by the whole province with particular intentions and making use of the modern media for the propagation of the Charism etc. We pray that as we celebrate the platinum jubilee may the Lord of the harvest bless our Congregation with more genuine vocations, thus Micaela can continue living through Adores who are yet to come.

Hereby we invite the entire Congregation to join with us to thank the Lord for his steadfast love and mercy especially towards the Indian provinces for the past 75 years.
