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.
