Six Montfortian Deacons Ordained Priests
BANGALORE, India – On June 5, 2018, the Indian Province
celebrated the priestly ordination of six Montfortian deacons at St. Thomas
Forane Church. The day was also
remarkable because it was the ordination day of our Founder, Fr. Louis de
Montfort in France.
The
six confreres who were ordained as priests are: Deacons Arun, Jayakumar,
Prakash, Bala, Nashwin and Ravi. They were ordained by our Montfortian Bishop,
Rt. Rev. Dr. Raja Rao, Bishop of Vijayawada. Our Superior General, Fr. Luiz
Augusto Stefani SMM, and the General Councillor, Fr. Rosario SMM, graced the
occasion. Their presence was very special to us. In addition, the family
members of our newly ordained priests, the religious and the invited people were
extremely happy during the occasion.
On 6th of
June 2018, the newly ordained priests offered their First Mass for the Maria
Bhavan community.
It
was a charming day for the scholastics to witness those events as they prepare
themselves to reach the Altar of the Lord. As they begin their new voyage, we
wish them all the best for their apostolate and assure them our prayers.
-Fr. Selvakumar, SMM
