The monastery is in the midst of Rubber plantation...away from the town....quite and serene....you can hear the birds of all kind singing....from morning till late evening.....the sisters singing can be heard some distance....so calm and quietness......
There are 17 sisters...some of them seniors....some middle-aged...and few young ones....they did not have vocation in last few years....they are praying for the gift.....some come to experience the Life...but when they hear that no annual vacations....living in the monastery....community life and living like a family......some of them decide the other way....
Many people come from far and wide to request them for prayers.....
I started my classes for them on Saturday evening,,,,four classes a day.....on the Franciscan Spirituality....I have coupled it with some practical points for living community life and Leadership in the Franciscan Fraternity....
All classes are projected on the screen so that the sisters can take down some points for their reflection
The classes are on the re-discovering Francis and Clare....the challenges to live Franciscan Charism and Spirituality in today's world....
