Mount Carmel Feast @ Ryshivana
The Feast of our Lady of Mount Carmel was solemnized at Ryshivana Ranipura on July 16, 2022 at 6.00 pm, for the first time in its 16-year history. Around 225 were present including priests, religious and laity. Fr. Archibald Gonsalves OCD the Superior and Director presided over the Mass at which Fr. Wilfred Rodrigues OCD preached the homily explaining the origin of the Carmelite Order and the devotion to our Lady of Mount Carmel as well as the growth and historical development of the same and the Scapular Devotion.

The OCDS community took an active part in the arrangements as well as in the Liturgy. While refreshments were served to all, around 150 invitees joined us for the dinner. Everyone had a word of appreciation for the wonderful organization, though for the first time.
