Blessing of the Social Apostolate Archives
On October 19, 2024, the blessing of the Social Apostolate Archives
took place at Carmel Bhavana, Huvina Hadagali. The blessing rite was
conducted by Fr. Silvestre D’Souza, Provincial Superior. Present at
the ceremony were the community friars—Frs. Denzil Veigas, Superior,
Victor Pais, Anil Prashanth Lobo, and Bro. Vinod Herald Pais—along
with the boarding boys and the sisters of Assisi Convent.
Following the blessing, Fr. Provincial congratulated Fr. Denzil on
the establishment of the Social Apostolate Archives and encouraged
him to document the social works undertaken across the province, as
Hadagali serves as a hub for social apostolate. Fr. Denzil expressed
his gratitude to the Provincial for imparting God's blessing and
thanked Fr Joachim Rodrigues, Prov. Councillor for Apostolate and
Fr. William Miranda, Secretary for Social Apostolate, for their
support and encouragement. The ceremony concluded with the
distribution of sweets to all present.
