Sharing faith experiences I – Sr. Fabiola Fernandes


Welcome to our special program on the Year of Faith, THE FAITHFUL WITNESS, a series on the lives of Inspiring People and Witnesses of faith in the Catholic Church from around the world. These are people who lived their ordinary lives in extraordinary ways. They are examples of great fortitude and virtue. Their unique stories inspire us to be rooted in our faith. God calls each one of us today to inspire our brothers and sisters and to be witnesses of our faith.
The Faithful Witness of this week is Fabiola Fernandes, a religious nun from the Indian state of Goa. She belongs to the Congregation of the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate, popularly known in India as Nirmala Sisters. She is the fifth of eight children born and brought up in a traditional catholic family. In this two-part interview Sr. Fabiola speaks about her life, faith experiences, her vocation, and her approach to life and mission.
