The New Rector, Fr Francis Menezes, Takes Charge

The winds of change have blown over Mount St Joseph! On May 9, the Shepherd’s staff was handed over by Fr Willie Sequeira to the lively and dynamic new Rector of Mount St Joseph, Fr Francis Menezes. The Thanksgiving Mass was at 6:30 pm in the Main Chapel followed by the handing-over ceremony. The homily aptly reflected the sentiments of this day. The new man on the job, Fr Francis, was welcomed into the community by the veteran Fr Frigidian Shenoy. The Novices, who were just back after a month of experiments, took care of the backstage works. Our hearts are brimming with gratitude for the service that Fr Willie has rendered to the community for the past 6 years and the principal guiding role that he has played. As we welcome the changing tide, we wish Frs Willie and Francis happy and fruitful life in the new phases of their lives.
