OCDS of Ryshivana begin Initial Formation
On June 15, 2022 twelve Secular Carmelite Aspirants of St. John of Cross community of Ryshivana, Ranipura entered into the Initial Formation I (novitiate). After sufficient instruction and preparation like the 12 disciples they were officially received by their Spiritual Assistant Fr. Wilfred Rodrigues OCD during a short but meaningful Vestition Ceremony. The entire community of Ryshivana Friars was present supporting them through their prayers. At the end of the ceremony, Mrs. Gloria OCDS expressed her joy and gratefulness on behalf of all the 12 of them.
