  Pauline Cooperators Jubilee Visit to Disabled Home Sunday 30 th will remain forever etched in the minds and hearts of our Pauline Cooperators for it was a visit to another side of the world, where 40 disabled children are taken care by the Camillian Fathers beyond Medchel on the outskirts of Secunderabad. It was truly pitiful to see children lying on the floor and eating because of their inability to sit nor stand. Most of them are blind and crippled. They will never have the joy of playing, going to school, talking, expressing themselves. But the most edifying scenes were the Fathers caring for them as if their own children with such love and tenderness. We were 4 sisters and 8 Pauline Cooperators who travelled together and returned with such a touching experience. On the way we visited a newly built beautiful Church on the model of St. Philomena's Church in Mysore. Claudette
