REUNION CULTURAL ACADEMY: 2018-2019
Welcome to Reunion Cultural Academy. We DHM are blessed to be at the heart of the city, as well as privileged to have the house closer to St. Thomas Church Cathedral, Santhome, Chennai.
We, are Eleven [8+3] in the community and three are working in Odisha. Each one is engaged in varied activities and mission. We give first priority to our spiritual and community life as we are called to bear a joyful witness to our Risen Lord by our Charism. Our spiritual exercises begin with our communion with God through mediation, Holy Mass, Spiritual readings, Visit to the Blessed sacrament, Night prayer, Monthly recollection, Holy Hour, Triduum, Retreat etc., We also come together for recreation to share experiences, community meetings, conferences, special studies, gospel sharing and other common activities. We have a special devotion to Mother Mary. Therefore the day ends with Rosary and night prayer.
Sisters are engaged in pastoral Ministry as follows, Josephine is Member of Parish Council, Liturgy committee, attends Basic Catholic Community [BCC] meeting and Mary Tamilarasi accompanies wherever the need arises. Mary Tamilarasi and Annie Alukkal take Sunday Catechism classes for children in Santhome Parish. Mary Varghese, Josephine Selvanayagam and Mary Tamilarasi are engaged in Prison ministry. Mary Varghese finds time to visit the sick and suffering along with parish members.
We decided to visit the houses of our children, students and slums those are closer to our house. However all of us make an effort to visit according to each ones availability and time.
We have two main buildings, one being Cultural Academy and the other Nirmala Nilayam, each of the DHM engaged in their own exclusive mission.
