Celebrating the life of Louisa Crasta/ Sr.Mary James

Image
Louisa Crasta held different names and honorifics during her lifetime - Louise-maushi, Sister-aunty, Sr Mary James, Soeur Marie Jacques, and Voddlimai among others. Hers was a life filled with love and grace and this blog is an attempt to chronicle the stories, anecdotes and photographs about and around her, to be preserved for all those she loved and who loved her in return. Any submissions in the form of stories and images can be sent to me at sheelamaria@gmail.com. I have been blessed to have spent time with Sr James/Voddlimai in various places over the past few decades and look forward to hearing of others' personal encounters with her. - Sheela d'Mello
