In the 1960s, the grandparents of 41-year-old Sr. Lina Magdalina Murmu, residents of Choupukuria village in Dinajpur, Bangladesh, were baptized by Italian PIME Missionaries. Sixty years later, their granddaughter became a missionary in Italy.
Murmu, a member of the Salesian Missionaries of Mary Immaculate, serves children, the elderly and migrants in Roveredo in Piano, Pordenone, where she is the house superior. Two sisters from Madagascar also live with her as missionaries.
Her mission involves listening to elderly individuals who often find themselves alone. She provides them with Holy Communion and offers prayers, particularly for those who are ill. She told Global Sisters Report the seniors she meets are delighted to see a young missionary nun from an Asian country witnessing Jesus Christ. Many of them find peace after sharing their thoughts with her.
Murmu shared that most young adults do not attend Sunday Mass regularly. Consequently, their children are unfamiliar with Catholic prayers, attending Mass only during Christmas, Easter and funerals. To address this, she teaches catechism to local Catholic children and hopes to see them become more involved in church activities.
