Carmelite Family Get-together in Mangaluru
On Sunday, July 21st, a family get-together was held for all the Carmelites of the Mangalore and Udupi dioceses on the occasion of the feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. More than 100 OCD Friars, AC, CSST, and CMC sisters participated in the event held at St. Agnes College, Mangaluru.

At 3:30 PM, a concelebrated Holy Eucharist was held in the St. Agnes Convent Chapel. Fr. Rudolf Raj Pinto was the main celebrant, and Fr. Alvito Fernandes delivered a meaningful homily. The melodious choir by the AC Sisters helped elevate our minds and hearts in praise and thanksgiving.

This was followed by tea and snacks generously served by the AC Sisters. A short program was then held at St. Agnes High School auditorium, featuring songs, games, and jokes organized by the OCD brothers and AC Sisters. The prizes were sponsored by the CSST sisters. The entire program fostered a strong sense of Carmelite fraternity and identity.
