Tender Loving Care rehab center.jpg

Good Shepherd Convent of the Bethany Sisters has been converted to the Tender Loving Care rehab center for women alcoholics, TELOCA for short, by Clara D'Cunha, a member of the Bethany Lay Associates. D'Cunha had been a therapist in alcohol rehabilitation at a diocesan hospital when she got the offer to take over the Bethany Sisters convent. Her decision to use the convent for treating women alcoholics, with support from a Dutch donor, fulfilled a 10-year dream of hers. (Thomas Scaria)
