Vows Day 2019

June 21st is the special day for the Mount St Joseph community. Our novices after two years of their novitiate training took simple vows of chastity, poverty and obedience.  In this 60th jubilee year of Mount St Joseph, the Karnataka Jesuit Province had a privilege of having 13 novices who pronounced their vows and became part of the members of the Society of Jesus. 

We wish them all the very best as 9 of them go to Vidyaniketan, Trivendrum and 4 of them to Vinayalaya, Mumbai for their next stage of formation, i.e. Juniorate. We thank God for these vibrant young men to the Society of Jesus.

Fr Jerome Stanislaus D'Souza, the provincial of Karnataka Jesuit Province thanked Fr Jossie Rodrigues, the Novice Director and the Assistant Novice Director, Fr Josephvaz Monteiro, for preparing them after the heart and mind of our founder St Ignatius of Loyola.

 The presence of the neighbouring religious communities gathered in large numbers added joy to the celebration.

The 42 issue of the Novitiate Journal "Navataranga" was released on this occasion. (MG)
