It was a joyful evening for the community of Vijayawada and for the Indian Province, as seven of our Aspirants entered the Pre-novitiate during the Solemn Eucharistic Celebration held on 5 October 2020 at 7 pm. During the ceremony the seven young men after having spend a couple of days in silence, recollection and discernment, expressed their desire to enter into the year of Pre-novitiate. The Superior of the community and Master of the group, Fr Wilson Thekkanath, in his homily, explained to the young men, the importance of the year of Pre-novitiate, referring the Constitution and Directory of the Congregation, (cfr CD, 100). He also appreciated the young men for making the bold decision to follow their Master, the way, the truth and life. He thanked their parents for offering their son for the mission of Christ.
The Pre-novices, thanked the Superior, senior and junior brothers of the community, the Provincial Superior and his councilors, the Director of formation and all the members of the Province for accompanying them with their prayers, and for all the arrangements done to make the celebration a meaningful and memorable one.
