Solemn Professions Mark St. John of the Cross Feast
On December 14, all roads led to Teresianum, Rome as six young Carmelites, resplendent in the Carmelite habit and mantle, processed solemnly to the chapel to celebrate the Solemnity of St. John of the Cross. They were led by the Shepherd of the Order, Very Rev. Miguel Marquez Calle, and accompanied by an esteemed group of priests, including Definitor Generals, Rectors of three communities, and Provincials.

During the concelebrated Holy Eucharist at 11 a.m., the six brothers joyfully committed themselves for life into the hands of Rev. Fr. General. Representing four diverse nationalities—India (Br. Ruban and Br. Siman), Tanzania (Br. John and Br. Yohannes), Congo (Br. Ignace), and Madagascar (Br. Clariel)—they stood as a testament to the universality of the Carmelite vocation. The occasion was especially joyful for the Karnataka-Goa Province and the Regional Vicariate of Tanzania, as three of the brothers belong to their communities.

The well-animated liturgy, accompanied by a soulful choir of brothers and parishioners from the Basilica of St. Pancrazio, enhanced the celebration. The event was further enriched by the presence of religious congregations, friends, and well-wishers. After the Eucharist, a sumptuous festal lunch featuring Italian and Indian cuisine brought everyone together in a joyful expression of unity in diversity.
