SUPERIORS OF THE KG PROVINCE UNITE!
It was a joy to welcome all the Superiors of all our communities in India to Sadbhavana, for a meeting that lasted two days from 21-22 November, 2017. It consisted in the sharing the life and activities of each community and discussions on the agenda. The celebrations of the Province day enhanced the joy and brotherhood among the friars. There was a solemn Eucharistic celebration on the 21st of November, beautifully animated by Fr. Alphonse Britto. As it was the memorial of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Fr. Lancy Lewis preached on the history and significance of the feast to our Carmelite life. In the cultural evening that followed, Fr. Provincial was felicitated. On behalf of all, Fr. Lawrence D’Mello raised the toast and highlighted some of his outstanding qualities, especially in administration, which is recognized not only in the Order (with the General still requesting him to conduct visitations) but also by many other Congregations seeking his help. Fr. Henry Moras and team entertained the audience with their humour and the octogenarian, Fr. Paul D’Souza rendered an old song. A few spot games were conducted in between by Fr. Joachim Rodrigues, and the winners were given prizes. The whole programme was compeered by Fr. Archie Gonsalves in his inimitable style! Then came the fellowship meal prepared under the able direction of the Delegate Superior of Sadbhavana, Fr. Jerald P. D’Souza. Viva KG Province.
