From September 1st to 3rd, the Little Sisters of the Poor Mysore Home was alight with joy for the Group Jubilee Celebrations, honoring our Silver and Golden Jubilarians.

The Climax: Renewing Our Vows
The long-awaited Jubilee Day dawned on September 2nd. The solemn Jubilee Mass at 11:00 a.m. was presided over by Rev. Fr. Ratan, OCD, President of the CRI Unit, Mysore, who beautifully connected the Levitical meaning of "Jubilee" to our consecrated life.
With uplifted hearts, the Little Sisters renewed their vows with radiant joy and unwavering conviction, our praises soaring with the angelic voices of the Rajiv Nagar Parish choir.
The celebration continued with a sumptuous homemade meal, followed by a lively talent showcase: graceful dances by students, a colourful fan dance by the Residents, and an energetic breakdance by the men. The evening was a nostalgic tribute to our foundress, with the community’s action songs and a moving enactment of St. Jeanne Jugan’s life.
