  • Welcome to Guntur…
    Welcome to Guntur… Jewell Start General President Catholic Women’s League of Victoria and Wagga Wagga The news that our founding President, Dr Sr Mary Glowrey JMJ, was to be declared a Servant of God by the Most Rev Dr Gali Bali, Bishop of Guntur, at the Chrism Mass at the Infant Jesus Cathedral, Phirangipuram, on the 27th March 2013, came like a bolt from the blue! Thanks to the kind offices of the Archbishop of Melbourne, Archbishop Denis Hart, I was deeply honoured and privileged to be able to represent the Catholic Women’s League of Victoria and Wagga Wagga at this momentous occasion, along with Fr Dan Strickland MGL. Our time in India passed very quickly leaving a blur of impressions. We were enveloped by vibrant colours and noises as we travelled from place to place with cars, motor bikes, people, taxi cabs, trucks, buses, auto rickshaws and bullocks all sharing the road. The JMJ (Society of Jesus Mary Joseph) Provincial Houses in Hyderabad, Mangalagiri and Bangalore were an oasis of calm, where we were blessed to share time in prayer and contemplation with the JMJ sisters. One of the highlights of our visit to Guntur was a tour of St Joseph’s Hospital where Dr Sr Mary Glowrey had worked so tirelessly for 37 years. Walking in her footsteps was truly humbling. The places where Mary worked and lived have been lovingly preserved, and there are photos of her throughout the hospital to inspire others working in the JMJ health apostolate. We were also blessed to meet several elderly JMJ sisters who had worked with Dr Sr Mary Glowrey, and cared for her in the final months of her life.
