On Sunday, 23 March 2025, the Bangalore CRI Cooke Town Zone celebrated Jubilee 2025 in a meaningful way by combining it with the season of Lent and making a special pilgrimage. This event was held at the Thejas Provincial House of the Sisters of St. Ann of Luzern, Bengaluru.
A total of 75 consecrated men and women, along with candidates in formation, came together for a Lenten conference titled "Journey with Christ to the Cross: A Pilgrimage of Faith." The session was animated by Rev. Prof. Dr. Yesu Karunanidhi, the CCBI National Coordinator for Jubilee 2025.
The gathering was part of a larger spiritual journey to Nirmala Shishu Bhavan, one of the six centres announced by His Grace Most Rev. Peter Machado, Archbishop of Bangalore, as places to “instil and imbibe hope” during the Jubilee Year.
In her orientation address, Dr. Sr. Roshni Karimundackal PHJC, President of the Zone, placed the event in the wider context of the Synod for a Synodal Church (2021–2024), the Jubilee Year 2025, and the Lenten season. She emphasised that the pilgrimage is not just a visit but a deep experiential and transformational journey of faith.
The event was well-coordinated by Sr. Bincy Emmanuel SAL, Secretary of the Zone.
The day marked a significant moment of reflection, renewal, and hope as the consecrated communities journey together towards the Jubilee.
