Little Sisters
We woke up this morning and attended a Mass at the local cathedral which was said in Hindi. The music was absolutely fantastic, with an Indian drummer, singers and even some dancers who led the Bishop down the aisle at the start of Mass.rnrn
rnrnAfter taking a rickshaw ride back to the hotel where we had breakfast, we then took another rickshaw down to the Ganges where we walked to the Little Sisters of Jesus. The Little Sisters were formed by Sister Madeleine in 1956, and quickly spread across the globe and now have fraternities in over 90 countries. Whilst living in different parts of the world, they try to fit in and support the local community in the spirit of Charles de Foucault. They support themselves by taking menial work, which also helps them to integrate with fellow workers.rnrn
