16-09-2024

On September 16th, the priests ordained in the year 1995 came together to celebrate their 30th anniversary of the ordination to the priesthood. The Mass was held at 11:30 a.m. in the chapel, with the entire seminary community, coming together to give thanks to the Lord for these 26 priests who have faithfully served in His vineyard. Of the 26 priests, 10 were able to attend the celebration in person.

Rev. Fr Michael Santhumayor was the main celebrant for the Eucharistic celebration, while Fr. Polachan Kaithottungal from the Ernakulam diocese delivered a inspiring homily. In his reflection, Fr. Polachan spoke of the seminary years as the golden days of life and expressed heartfelt gratitude to the seminary and the professors who played a vital role in their formation. He encouraged the community to prepare for the challenging mission that lies ahead. During the Mass they prayed for the four members of their batch who have passed away. Afterward, the rector extended his greetings to the priests and thanked them for sharing their joy with the seminary by returning to celebrate this special occasion.
