Vocation Work at Nalla Jerla in Andhra Pradesh.

 Vocation Work at Nalla Jerla in Andhra Pradesh.

At the request of Fr Anthony a Cleritian priest  Srs Tara and Nancy set out for vocation work to Nalla Jerla a village situated in Eluru.  This parish is run by the Claretian fathers. This parish is consisting of 7 villages. We reached there on 9th afternoon. After the lunch and little rest, towards the evening we visited one of the villages and met the girls of 7th, 8th , 9th and 10th. They are basically farmers and many of them study in Govt and private run schools. Some of them are studying in Fathere’s English Medium School. Next day being Sunday after the Mass we visited two more villages. Some girls we met in the Church itself and others in their homes. We found the Parish priest and the people were very simple and welcoming.  Since there is no convent of sisters, the children have no idea about the religious life. Some of them have given their addresses and have expressed their desire.  We have sown the seed and we hope and pray that some may respond to the call of God in the years to come.
