ELISAMMA

Papa doesn't remember to have seen his "Kochu",
as the Kochechy of the family was fondly called by the younger ones,
as his sister at home. His earliest remembrance of her is as a white-clad aspirant being taken to Belgaum,
where the Canossian Sisters had their novitiate.
He had the privilege to see her on her way to Belgaum during a short stop over near Vayalar junction, NH 47.

In 1999 she visited us in Vienna
after taking part in the canonisation ceremony of a Canossian nun at the Vatican.
Since 5 years she works in a mission station in Andhra Pradesh.

Elisamma aunty is filled with an ardent missionary spirit.
From 1974 to 1978
she worked for the poorest of the poor in
TANSANIA
Having noticed the urgend need of a skilled doctor
she recruited from Kerala
Dr. Sebastian Mathew
who then served the sick in Tansania wholeheartedly.
