POOTHIKADU-POOMALA
5th February 2020
The second Tabernacle in the Diocese of Calicut became a reality in the year
2019 in a place called Poothikadu, in Sultan Bathery which is a town in the
mountainous Wayanad region of Kerala. The dream was fulfilled with the
goodness of our long time Friend Late Dr. Margaret George Rapheal who
wished us to have one more house in where our Bridgettine cradle exists and
handed over her ancestral property in the year 2016.
So a suitable place was found in Sulthan Bathery and began the construction
in the year 2017. Three sisters stayed in a rented house thus beginning the
humble journey. After three years the House was blessed by His Grace
Varghese Chakkalakkal Bishop of calicut in the presence of our Beloved
Mother General, Mother Fabia Kattakayam.
The community consists of 6 sisters, who make their presence felt by
involving themselves in the parish activities and family apostolate. The daily
Adoration of the Eucharist is the centre of their life and the Liturgy of the hours
is carried out with fervour and devotion. The apostolate of having an Old age
home and ladies hostel still remains to be fulfilled due to various reasons. We
trust in the providence of God, letting His holy will work in our lives.
