Ordination to Diaconate

 

Brothers John Vinzen Lyngdoh and Rajasekhar Gopu were ordained Deacons this morning during the Eucharistic Celebration at 10.30 AM. Father Bishop Peter Machado was the main celebrant who presided over the Eucharist, preached an inspiring and touching homily and ordained the brothers as deacons. 

 

Br Praveen Henry D Souza, the Minister Provincial and Br  Trevor D Souza were the concelebrants, while the friars from the fraternities of St Anthony, St. Bonaventure and St Thomas decked the pews with their devotional and prayerful presence. 

 

 

The event was witnessed by the family members and relatives of the newly ordained deacons. The deacons were then felicitated before the sumptuous meals that was served to all.
