Another flower has bloomed in the Garden of Pune Carmel… and
this one is none other than a beautiful ROSE.
Miss Lyan Rodrigues was born and grew up in Mumbai. She
completed her Graduate and Post Graduate studies in Human Development from
Nirmala Niketan College of Home Science, Mumbai. Apart from that she has
specialized in Intellectual disabilities by acquiring an M. Ed degree in Special
Education- Mental Retardation from SNDT University, Mumbai. She is also the
Grand-Niece of Br. Baptist Rodrigues, OCD of Mangalore
Monastery.
Lyan has aspired to be a Carmelite since childhood. She came
for a come and see experience to Pune Carmel in April 2016 for a period of one
month. There she felt that Carmel was her home and God was calling her to live a
life in deep union with Him. She returned home after the come and see experience
and joined Carmel after a month as a Postulant, having said her good-byes to
everybody; never to return back to the world.
Lyan was vested on the eve of 17th of January 2017
and has been given the religious name Sr. Rose of Infant Jesus.
