Double the Joy, Triple the celebration
The Pushpashrama Community came together in joyful celebration on the evening of 21 June 2026 to honour two of its beloved members the Rector Fr. Alphonse Britto and Fr. Prasanna Kumar, who joyfully marked the milestone of his 60th birthday. The programme was preceded by a prayer service, grounding the celebration in faith and thanksgiving.

Following this, the community fathers and brothers extended their warm and affectionate wishes to both celebrants in a beautifully organized programme organized by Fr Richard Saldanha with the collaboration of the brothers. The brothers, brimming with creativity, put together a programme that delighted everyone present. A humorous skit had the audience in peals of laughter. A specially composed wishing song, written for the occasion, added a deeply personal touch to the celebration. An eye-catching dance multiplied the joy of the event.

Words of appreciation were offered by Fr. Vijay and Fr Prithesh who spoke warmly of Fr. Prasanna Kumar and Fr Alphonse respectively. The celebration was made all the more glorious by the presence of the newly ordained priests, Fr. Hilary, Fr. Alwin and Fr. Elston whose presence brought with it the joy of new priestly life. Adding to the delight was Fr. Loy the benjamin of the Pushpashrama community. The solemnity of the occasion was further enriched by the gracious participation of fathers from the Dhyanavana, Dhyanasadhana and Belur communities.
