Teaching Sisters’ Seminar

The teaching sisters assembled at Nayakakanda for the Teaching Sisters’ Seminar as scheduled in the Year Planner on 9th May 2015. The two days spent together were found to be very profitable.
On the first day the sisters were enlightened by the creative presentations of Rev. Fr. Everest – a Claretian Priest on various aspects. His reflections were based on the teachings of Pope Francis for consecrated people and on the spirituality of St. Mary Euphrasia. He highlighted the importance of daily spiritual reading. He also emphasized the need to be compassionate in our dealings with those around us, and more so with the students we handle in our day to day activities.

The next day our Province Leader Sr. Francine Muthugala addressed us. She commenced the day asking a few questions in on order to refresh us. She then spoke on Challenges in Leadership, guiding us with the “Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership” as given by Kouzes and Posner.
It was also a pleasure to welcome Rev. Fr. Ranjith Madurawela the General Manager of Catholic Schools on this day. It was indeed a special day as it gave us the opportunity to express our gratitude to him as he relinquished his office.

The day concluded with a meaningful prayer service.
