Mangalore, April 19: Young minds need to be oriented towards serving the poor and the needy said Dr. Bernard Moras, Arch Bishop of Bangalore.

Speaking at a programme held as part of the centenary celebrations of the Sisters of Charity at Father Muller Institutions in the city on Thursday, Dr. Moras said that forming young minds is a greater responsibility that the Sisters need to take up at present.

Reminding the Sisters that their mission is to 'establish the kingdom of love of Jesus Christ', the Arch Bishop said that when the first contingents of Sisters came down to Mangalore a hundred years ago, they came with the sole purpose of serving the poor.

“They didn't come for a glamorous job, to work for a big institution as is the case today. They served the patients when no one dared to enter the leprosy centre here at this hospital. Modern medicines were also not available to them in those days”, he said.

He also called upon the Sisters to be available 24x7 for the service of the poor.

Sisters and former priests who have served the institution were felicitated on the occasion. A documentary on the history and activities of the Sisters of Charity at Father Muller Institutions was also screened.

Dr. Aloysius Paul D'Souza, Bishop of Mangalore, Patrick Rodrigues, Director, Father Muller Charitable Institutions, Matilda Monteiro, Provincial Superior, Irene Jane D'Souza, Superior General, Peter S Noranha, Former Director, were also present.
