Ah! The Sheer Grace
On Monday, May 1, 2023, six of our Novices, Bros. Calon Ujwal Coelho, Flostan D'Souza, Glawin Lester D'Souza, Jaden Dias, Premraj Monteiro, and Sharon M. D'Souza, made their first religious profession in the garden of Carmel at Tapovana, Kushalnagar. Rev. Fr Silvestre Joseph D'Souza, Provincial Superior, presided over the thanksgiving Eucharist, which was attended by 43 concelebrants, religious nuns, family members and well-wishers of Tapovana. In his homily, the Provincial encouraged them to follow St Therese of Child Jesus' example of faithfulness to the Lord. Following the homily, the Novices professed in the hands of the Provincial. Fr Aaron Babush Rodrigues led the profession rite ceremony. Following the mass, a small felicitation programme was held in which the Novices were introduced by Fr Jeevan Tauro and the Superior proposed the vote of thanks. Bros. Flostan and Sharon extended their appreciation to everyone on behalf of the Professed Brothers.

The Provincial initiated the seven postulants into the novices the day before, on April 30, 2023. While admitting them to the novitiate, he urged them to have a come-and-see experience with the Lord and wished them God's blessings as they began their canonical novitiate.

The KG Province congratulates the professed Brothers and novices and continues to pray for them.
