“3rd December 2015  is marked in the history of St. Raphaela Mary Convent, Vypin. On that day we were blessed both with the presence of Srs. Inmaculada, Concesa and Margret and the most important event of placing the foundation stones for a spacious chapel which was the dream of the community for a long time. At 4pm the parish priest Fr. George Kalathiparambil blessed the foundation stones of the chapel and Srs. Inmaculada, Concesa, Margret and Lizzie laid the first stones.

All the Aci family members and vocation girls were present to witness and to pray along with us during this auspicious occasion. We are grateful to the Lord and to the Congregation for all the good that would be brought about through the presence of the Lord in this chapel.

Srs. Inmaculada and Concesa along with Sr. Margret also found the time to meet the community, Aci family, the vocation girls and to visit our misión – Play school , the social centre and the Fisher folks who live in the costal area. The very next day -which was a Friday -we all went for the morning mass (a special mass and novena dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in our parish ). The sisters were really impressed seeing many people flocking towards Jesus  with such ardent love and piety.  We thank the Lord for the opportunity which we have got to unite ourselves to this universal body of the Institute.”
