A word of thanks

Dear Fathers, Brothers, relatives, friends....,
It really brings joy for us to bring Mount St.Joseph closer to you. For some, though they like to come here and refresh themselves, the distance and traffic make them change their plans. For many, Mount brings nostalgic memories.... disciplines... hair shirts.. vine...butter fruits, mangoes...and those unforgettabe prayer and retreat experiences.... Now you can just sit back and relish all those memories at the click of the mouse.
We have 27 vibrant, promising novices. 18 more are expected to join the Novitiate soon. The second years are getting ready for the hospital, earn and live and community experiment and the first years warming up to go for the summer camp at Pannur. Dhyanashrama is always full as so many long to come to do retreat here.
The Ignatian Spirituality Center work is progressing very fast. Soon we will get to you the coverage on ISC with images.
The inspiration for this blog comes from Fr.Brian and Fr. JossyD'Mello. We remain grateful to them.
Make it a habit to (b)log in to our website. A special feature of this blog is- we store all the photos of the events taking place at Mount. Anybody from anywhere can access them and if they want download and print them.

On 14th April, Fr. Dion completed 10 years of priesthood. You can send your wishes to him: dionvazsj@gmail.com. We congratulate him on this occasion and look forward to many more jubilees.
