were united with the mind and heart of Christ by pronouncing the vows of Poverty, Chastity and obedience and thus committing themselves to the Lord on 21 June 2012. Our twelve brothers, like the twelve apostles have responded to the call of Jesus to love and serve the lost, least and last of the society, without counting the cost like our founding father St. Ignatius did. Let us earnestly pray that our brothers may grow stronger in their personal conviction, commitment and courage and forever be united with God’s love and dedicate their entire life for the service of God’s people.

Inspired by the Missionary – Fr Paulose

When we listened to the adventures of Fr Paulose, it seemed as if we were listening to another St Francis Xavier. The Novitiate community was privileged  to have Fr Paulose Vellacada SJ to celebrate the Eucharist in the Novitiate chapel on 29 May. He is a Jesuit of our province serving as a pastor in British Guyana. We were gripped by the narration of his experiences, struggles, joys, challenges and the miracles experienced by him in the course of his pilgrim journey. Each and every word carried the force of inspiration that a missionary possesses due to his hard life in the frontiers. We are grateful to Fr Paulose for sharing his experiences with us. We silently wish that many of us would follow his path to serve Christ in the needy. “Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” – Confucius
