Final Vows of Fr Francis Noronha

Our life as a religious is like a grind-stone and all that we must do is to allow it to polish us. Our life is a song and to sing it well, we need to listen to the melody or the inner voice of God. On 13 December, Fr Francis Noronha made his promises to the Lord through his Final Vows in the Society of Jesus. And all of us at Mount St Joseph and the Parish joined him in his song of praise.

St Ignatius puts the following criteria for men to be incorporated into the Society of Jesus.

(1) Men outstanding in following Christ Jesus (2) Men outstanding in virtue (3) Men who have sound judgement and prudence in action (4) Men who humbly accept corrections & strive to correct themselves (5) Men driven by love (6) Men who have complete availability, mobility for mission & ministries of the Society. Congratulations dear Fr Frankie!
