Br. Benhur Patil, who was Novice Master for six years and then he completed his doctorate in Franciscan spirituality in Rome, Italy. He served for one year in the Province of Assisi after his studies in Rome. The appointment as a Rector is a blessing to our Theologate as he is an experienced formator and has good experience in animation of the fraternity.
Previous day of the Pentecost Feast we had an Holy Hour and we prayed for the coming of the Holy Spirit upon New Rector and the Fraternity.
On the Feast day of the Pentecost we celebrated Mass in the evening and the new rector celebrated the solemn eucharist and four of us con-celebrated with him.
I was privileged to break the word of God.....spoke about the awareness of the presence of the Holy Spirit who is indwelling Lord.....how he guides and animates us.....
Br. Benhur took over as the new rector from 1st June.....Let us pray for him
Most of the brothers have reached to La Verna...another five yet to reache....they are held up in various fraternities of the Province due to lockdown....we are hoping to have them soon...
Three brothers from Katta `novitiate who professed themselves on 2nd of May 2020 have been brought here for few days....from here they are supposed to proceed to Post-novitiate program in Karnataka.
We thanked Br. Amrut Fonseca who was asked by the Provincial Council to look after the fraternity during the Month of March, April and May. He did a wonderful job as an interim guardian of the fraternity. Br. Wilson D'Souza thanked him for his service. He provided lot of provisions to our house and even went to Vasai along with two Brothers Godfrey and Brian to bring fish...these days we are enjoying good quality and variety of fish....thanks Br. Amrut for your love and concern
The Fraternity celebrated my birthday which was on 8th May....they all prayed and wished me....Br. Benhur spoke few words in appreciation of me....
We congratulated Brothers Julies and David who made their final commitment during the lockdown in two different places....also three brothers who made their simple commitment in Katta...
