Meeting with the Archbishop of Vasai (Bassein)

The Deacons were taken to the Archbishop to be introduced before the Ordination. There are altogether 6 candidates for the
ordination on 21st December. The Capuchins are 3 of them. The Bishop asked the candidates to introduce themselves with their background. At the end he instructed them about the seriousness of the grace of ordination. He also communicated that the Holy Father Francis is insisting good and committed priests who would work for Christ and His Church. He instructed them to be faithful to the vows and the priestly life. He asked the candidates to spend the day of Ordination in reflection and mediation.
The Candidates then went to the Church where the Ordination ceremony would be held. The Parish belongs to the Jesuits and they have a huge ground in front of the church. The candidates will practice for three days continuously.
