Golden birthday of Fr William Miranda @ Jagalur
For by me your days will be multiplied, and
years will be added to your life. (Proverbs
9:11) With this Biblical theme, the community
friars of Prerana, Jagalur celebrated the golden
birthday of Fr. William Miranda OCD on the 1st
of November 2021. The celebration was indeed a
memorable one with the presence of our Definitor
General Rev. Fr. Pius James Dsouza and with the
maiden visit of the Provincial superior Rev. Fr.
George Santhumayor. The celebration began with
the mass at 6:30 pm presided over by a birthday
boy and concelebrated by 28 priests from the
neighbouring Carmelite communities and from the
deanery priests of the diocese of Shimoga. After
the mass, the community organised a short
felicitation program merging both honouring the
newly elected Definitor General, newly nominated
Provincial and wishing the golden birthday
celebrant. As a sign of brotherhood and
friendship all the priests joined the fellowship
meal and thanked the Lord for the 50 years of
life to Fr. William Miranda. The community
friars acknowledged his selfless service to the
community and to the Province and wished him
God’s blessings in the years to come.
