Sancoale, Apr 30: In a heartfelt tribute to dedicated helpers and workers, the Congregation hosted a Workers' Day celebration for its support staff in Goa, working across various communities. The event, preponed from its usual May 1 observance, was a gesture of respect and gratitude, acknowledging their invaluable contributions to the mission and daily life of the community.

On April 30, at Holy Family Convent, Sancoale, the day began with a prayer service, creating a space for reflection and thanksgiving. Superior General Sr Berna Rodrigues delivered a short address, expressing deep appreciation for the staff’s commitment, hard work, and service. Her words resonated with warmth, reinforcing the essential role they play in the Congregation’s mission.

One of the most meaningful aspects of the celebration was giving the workers space to introduce themselves. This activity not only fostered confidence and self-reliance but also deepened their sense of connection within the Congregation, helping them feel truly seen and valued.

A particularly significant moment followed as the workers gathered before the Founder’s bust, offering a prayer of petition through his intercession. This act of devotion strengthened their faith, drawing inspiration from his legacy of compassion and service.

The celebration continued with games that fostered friendship and joy, accompanied by refreshments to mark the occasion. At the close of the event, tokens of appreciation were distributed as a sign of gratitude, and prizes were awarded to the winners of the games.

The support staff were accompanied by sisters working alongside them in the respective departments.

This gathering served not only as a celebration but also as a sign of communion and participation, reinforcing the shared mission of faith, humble service, and community.

The half-day program concluded as the workers departed, carrying with them the warmth of shared moments, a fulfilling meal, and cherished memories of the celebration.
