Sisters Adorers, Kolkata Province celebrated its XI Provincial Chapter from January 26 – 30, 2018, presided over by Sr Mary Jessy Kanjirathinal, the Provincial Superior.  Rev. Archbishop Thomas D’ Souza of Kolkata Archdiocese celebrated the inaugural holy Eucharist, invoking the Holy Spirit to guide and lead the Chapter members. 35 members participated in the Chapter having its theme Leave your land, Adore, Walk, Accompany. During the Chapter Sisters studied, reflected and shared the life and Mission of the Province with its ups and downs. These were the moments to appreciate and thank each other for what is already accomplished and also to encourage and enlighten the actions that are yet to come.

Deliberations on the XXX General Chapter document “Transformed by the Newness of the Spirit”, made us to believe that it is a guiding light for each Sister Adorer to transform ourselves and be real and authentic in our life and mission.  Though the basic idea remain the same as always, the new outlook and simple presentation of this document will foster true Adorer’s spirit and personal transformation.

On January 30, the final day of the Chapter, Sr Alice Varkey was elected as the Provincial Superior of Kolkata Province and Sr Lissiamma Joseph Mulamoottil, the Vice provincial, Sr Aparna Singh, the 2^nd Councilor, Sr Rani Thelliyankal, the 3^rd Councilor and Sr Biji John the 4^th Councilor. Throughout the Chapter, there prevailed an atmosphere of peace, unity and sense of belonging to the Congregation. The Chapter was concluded with a thanksgiving Mass for both the new and outgoing Provincial teams.
