Great North India! Great in its culture and history! The Land is blessed with many things. It is simply awesome to be here. The friars in this province come from various states of North India and South India, the missionaries from Karnataka. There is a great Capuchin tradition and heritage in this part of the world. The Chapter of Mats will definitely reflect on continuing and growing in it.
