A Heartfelt Thanksgiving with Archbishop Bernard Moras at the Cloistered Carmel, Bogadi
His Grace Most Rev. Bernard Moras, Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Mysore, visited the Cloistered Carmel at Bogadi, Mysore, on 13 October 2025 to celebrate a Thanksgiving Mass with the Carmelite community.

Before returning to Bengaluru later that afternoon, the Archbishop desired to spend this special moment in prayer and gratitude with the cloistered sisters who continually uphold the Church and the diocese through their life of contemplation and intercession.

During the Eucharistic celebration, Archbishop Moras offered prayers for the sisters, expressing his heartfelt appreciation for their constant spiritual support—both for the intentions of the diocese and for his own ministry.

At the conclusion of the Mass, the Carmelite sisters expressed their deep gratitude to the Archbishop for his dedicated service to the Diocese of Mysore and assured him of their continued prayers as he returns to Bengaluru.

The visit was marked by an atmosphere of serenity, thanksgiving, and mutual appreciation, beautifully reflecting the bond between the shepherd of the Church and the hidden contemplatives who sustain its mission through prayer.
