Perpetual Profession of four Confreres in India

(Bangalore, India) Today, 8^th June 2019 is a joyous day for the Province of Bangalore and for the Vice-Province of Majella as a few students belonging to their particular Units made their Perpetual Profession at Holy Ghost Church, Bangalore. Three clerical students from the Province of Bangalore (Bro. Prem, Bro. Vijay and Bro. Robin) and one clerical student from the Vice-Province of Majella (Bro. Dony) professed their vows for life before their families, friends, and the confreres. The mass was presided over by Fr. Edward Joseph (Provincial Superior of the Bangalore Province) and Fr. Ivel Mendanha, (Vice-Provincial Superior of the Vice-Province of Majella) preached the Word highlighting the challenges of being a religious in India today. This was followed by a festive lunch at Mt. St. Alphonsus (Redemptorist Theologate), Bangalore. As we thank the Lord for these four brothers and their joyful giving of themselves today, we pray that every moment of their lives, they be ‘Witnesses of the Redeemer in solidarity for mission to a wounded world’.
