Feast of St Ignatius

The feast of St Ignatius was celebrated in a grand way and everything was done in a new spirit, since the Superior and the Socius are new. The scholastics were in full swing, spiritually and physically, when the much awaited day, the 31st of July dawned.
But prior to that day, we had the novena in honour of our founder where we remembered some of our friends in the Lord who gave glory to God before us. On the day of the feast, Fr Silva Reddy was the main celebrant. The theme, as a golden thread throughout the celebration was "Ever to Love and Serve."
As per the custom at Vidyaniketan, we celebrated our joy with the parishioners also. On the 9th of August, we had a mass in the parish with the same theme. Fr Roland Coelho SJ, for the Goa province, was the main celebrant. That same evening, we organised a cultural programme for the parishioners where we shared our talents gleefully and they too participated in it well. Magis, one part of our charism, was seen there.
Our suncere thanks go to Fr Anthony and Fr Louis for their care and encouragement in all that we did.
