It is a significant milestone in their religious journey.
They began their journey April 2nd 2023, during the Palm Sunday Eucharistic Celebration in the mother house of the Province – St. Francis Xavier’s Chapel, Middle Colaba. Both SSS, Lay & other religious persons including men and women facilitated and accompanied them on the theme: “To Reawaken the Eucharistic Martyrdom”.
The occasion was filled with joy, gratitude, and a profound sense of commitment. It served as a testament to the unwavering dedication and devotion, that these brothers have shown throughout their formation and during their P4 program. Their decision to embrace the perpetual profession of vows demonstrates their readiness to serve God and His people with a steadfast heart.
Bro. Rajkumar Ekka sss, Bro. D. Solomon Rajan sss, Bro. Bidwan Sobhasundar (Lukas) sss & Bro. Bharathraja Arputham sss, your commitment to the charism of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament is a renewal to all of us. May your lives be a witness to the transformative power of the Eucharist and a source of hope and renewal in our world.
We express our heartfelt appreciation to the formators, mentors, and all those who have guided and supported these brothers on their vocational journey. We also extend our gratitude to the Kristu Jyoti Province - India for nurturing and forming these dedicated individuals to serve the Church and humanity.
Let us join together in prayer and celebration as we congratulate Bro. Rajkumar Ekka sss, Bro. D. Solomon Rajan sss, Bro. Bidwan Sobhasundar (Lukas) sss & Bro. Bharathraja Arputham sss.
