The final commitment of Fr Ivan Mendonca made June 12 as a special day in our calendars. It was an occasion for the province members to gather together in joining Fr Ivan in thanking the Lord. The venue was Ashirvad, Bangalore. The entire programme included a very meaningful Eucharistic celebration and a memorable felicitation programme. The first year Novices added sheen to the Eucharistic celebration by taking care of the choir. The sisters from the neighbourhood also pitched in to brighten the Liturgy. During the Homily, Fr Stanislaus D'Souza (Fr Stany) aptly spoke on the significance of the day in the life of Fr Ivan. With joy shining in his face, Fr Ivan fought his shyness to address the gathering and thanked the Lord and all who were instrumental in helping him reach the milestone. We join our voices with the province in wishing Fr Ivan a happy and fulfilling life ahead.
