Report of the Inauguration of the Eight-Month Formation Course - June 29, 2026:
Dhyana Sadhana solemnly initiated its comprehensive eight-month formation course. The inauguration was intentionally scheduled to coincide with the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, one of the most venerable feasts in the liturgical calendar. This strategic alignment infused the commencement with profound ecclesial significance, invoking the foundational pillars of Christian leadership, faith, and resilience as a guiding light for the incoming cohort.

The inaugural proceedings commenced with the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, which served as the spiritual cornerstone of the day. The liturgy was graciously presided over by Rev. Fr Silvestre D'Souza, the Vicar Provincial. A central highlight of the celebration was Fr Silvestre’s profoundly inspiring and spiritually enriching homily. His address not only set a contemplative and motivational tone for the academic year but also challenged the participants to approach their upcoming months of formation with open hearts and rigorous intellectual and spiritual dedication.

The newly initiated batch comprises a total of twenty-seven registered participants, representing a diverse assembly of individuals committed to deep spiritual formation. For the inaugural session, eighteen participants were physically present to witness and participate in the inaugural Mass. The remaining nine individuals, currently delayed by travel arrangements, are expected to arrive at the campus shortly.

In a gesture highlighting the spiritual identity of the institution, the incoming batch was formally entrusted to the heavenly intercession of St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, the patroness of Dhyana Sadhana. By placing the students under her spiritual guardianship, the administration emphasized a commitment to interiority, deep prayerful life, and contemplative study, those very ideals central to the patroness's legacy. This dedication marks a hopeful, structured beginning to what promises to be a transformative journey for all involved. We extend our best wishes to all the participants and pray God’s abundant blessings on the community members.
