MAGNET sent a few questions to Sr Christel, a former provincial of the Delhi province of the Sisters of the Destitute, a religious order devoted to looking after the aged and the destitute. There is much all of us can learn from their vision and commitment.–Editor
- The Sisters of the Destitute have been engaged in caring for the aged. You have been a provincial leader, and hence aware of the ministries done by your sisters. What ministries are you doing for seniors?
I am proud of my Congregation of the Sisters of the Destitute that is deeply engaged in caring for the sick and aged persons of any color, caste or creed. The Congregation was founded by Venerable Fr Varghese Payapilly. The very first inmate in the home for the aged was a destitute old man. The Congregation admits in its institutions only poor and abandoned old people who are found uncared fpr in their families or in the streets. At present, we have twenty-five houses for the aged, twenty for street women (both young and old) and seven for terminally ill people.
