Sister Linda Veronica Gomes, CSC

Celebrating Her Silver Jubilee

Sister Linda Veronica Gomes, CSC, was born in Kishoreganj District, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Before entering the Congregation, she was a student. Of her family, she says, “We are three in number. I have an elder brother and a younger sister. I am the second child of my parents. After my brother, as the first girl of the family I got much attention from my parents. My parents died before I joined the Congregation, but my brother took care of us as an elder brother should do. We have a strong family bond though my sister, who is also living in the U.S.”
