Minor Orders of Lector & Acolyte conferred

The wait is over. Finally, the most awaited day for the fourteen first year novices arrived on the 24th of March as they received the Cassocks. "The Spotless Robe of Christ is mine" - Cassock Day was the day of putting on Christ for the novices. It was a wonderful experience for the 14 of them to walk on the way of consecrated life. Having internalized the significance of "Cassock", the first year novices received it with great love and devotion. Their heart-felt longing is fulfilled. During the Eucharistic celebration Fr Vijay Prabhu, the Provincial, conferred the Minor Orders of Lector and Acolyte to the first year novices. In the homily, Fr Vijay Prabhu invited the novices to proclaim the Word of God to the people and serve them. Really it was a time of grace for all the novices. They are full of zeal and are looking forward to proclaim Christ Jesus to the world. Indeed, a memorable day!
