First Profession in the Province of St. Bonaventure of the Capuchin Order!!!!!

In the midst of Corona Virus when everything is under lockdown the novices early waiting for the day of their profession with friars and parents to witness the ceremony could not be realised. The provincial Minister Br. Philip Gonsalves and others could not travel to Katta, Malvan. Even the Novice Master was stuck in Mumbai as he had come for the council meeting. So finally the provincial minister delegated to Br. Benhur Patil to receive the vows who has returned from Assisi and now member of the Novitiate. On 2nd May four brothers committed themselves to the Capuchin Order vowing into the hands of Br. Benhur.

 Few neighbours witnessed the Ceremony....Brothrs Saurav Patil, Vinon Souz and Briton Bhunnkawil from Maharashtra and Br. Sammy Soares from St. Anthony Province, Goa
