Infant Jesus Feast at Tapovana
History was created on Sunday, 31st of January 2016 when for the first time the feast of Infant Jesus was celebrated at Tapovana, Kushalnagar. It was preceded by the novena for 9 days. After the solemn Eucharist, presided over by the prior Fr. Wilfy Rodrigues during which he explained the origin and the development of the devotion and the need of the celebration of the feast, a small procession with the statue of the Infant Jesus was taken around the monastery. Thereafter the devotees were anointed with the holy oil of Infant Jesus. A sumptuous breakfast sponsored by a devotee, was served to more than 125 people gathered for the solemn feast. The calendars donated by the Infant Jesus shrine, Mangalore, were also distributed to all.

On the same occasion, our cook Mrs. Lilly Pereira (Lillibai) who had served us for almost 8 years was felicitated and bidden farewell as she wanted to retire from the service in order to take care of her family.
