The 43rd North East Regional CRI Assembly, held from August 24 to 26, 2024, commenced with a welcome address by Sr Escociana Vaz MSMHC, the then Regional CRI Secretary, who set a tone of warmth, inclusion, and shared purpose. The opening prayer, led by Sr. Mary Mathew SMI, Provincial and Executive Member, called upon the words of St. Paul from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s Will for you in Christ Jesus.” These words framed the assembly as not merely a business meeting but as a gathering under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, seeking to discern God’s Will in the ongoing mission of the Church in North East India.
The ceremony of lighting the lamp, a traditional symbol of illumination and wisdom, involved various dignitaries including Sr. Christine Mynsong MSMHC, Bro. S. Maria Soosai SG, and Fr. K.J. Abraham CSC. This symbolic act set the stage for the collective discernment, dialogue, and decision-making that would take place in the following days, reflecting the light of Christ in their shared mission.
