ELENA BETTINI REGIONAL HOUSE
The words of the Psalmist “If the Lord does not build the house, in vain the workers labor” ( Psalm 127) and the charism of our institute “seek first God`s kingdom and it`s justice trusting completely in the Divine Providence” were the two motivating forces which kept us steady during the years of hard work and fatigue to build this beautiful house.
It was indeed a great dream to have an appropriate house for the administration of the congregation of Daughters of Divine Providence in India and the Providence never failed. It is blessed by Most. Rev. Bernard Mores, Archbishop of Bangalore and inaugurated by the Superior General Mother Carmen Perri on 25th October 2012 in the presence other sisters in the Region. Many religious congregation and laity witnessed this historical event . The house is named after the name of our mother Founder Ven. Maria Elena Bettini and it is known as “Elena Bettini Regional House”.

The new Regional Team (2019-2022)
The administration of the Region is carried forward by the Regional superior and her team. The Regional Assembly is the significant moment of our Region to discern the ways we are asked to respond to God`s calls of the new realities. A great moment to celebrate together what God has done and doing among FDP. Annual retreats, seminars on different circumstances are the other resources to enrich our spiritual building.
