26th Convocation Day at Dhyanavana
Dhyanavana celebrated its 26th convocation day on March 19, 2023, making
it a special day. At 11:00 am, Rev. Fr. George Santhumayor, the
Provincial Superior, Fr. John Sequeira, the Rector of Pushpashrama, Fr
Vinod Lobo and the community friars celebrated the thanksgiving Holy
Eucharist. Fr. John stressed in his homily the importance of divinity in
a person's life, which finally culminates in one’s spirituality.
The convocation ceremony started at 6:00 p.m. in the evening. Mrs. Clara
Fernandes' convocation address on the role of women in decision-making
is also very timely and relevant. Women's perspectives and voices are
important in all aspects of life, including spirituality and religious
leadership. The President, Rev. Fr George Santhumayor, OCD, Provincial
Superior, released the Dhyanavana Souvenir and congratulated the
graduates. The Chief guest was Archbishop Emeritus Bernard Moras,
Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Mysore, who presented the
diploma certificates to the sisters. Fr Dominic Vas, the Director,
welcomed everyone, and Fr Rathan Almeida, Dean of Studies, gave a
detailed report on the life and activities of Dhyanavana.
The sisters, who came from various parts of India, showcased their
talents through cultural dance. This is an excellent way to highlight
various cultures and traditions while also bringing people together in
celebration and appreciation of diversity. It was a joyful event
attended by approximately 250 people, including priests, religious,
benefactors, and friends. Following the program, everyone was served a
meal.
