It was a great initiative from Fr. P. S Joseph, the counsellor in charge of formation, who had arranged a meeting for all our seven Deacons at our S.F.S minor seminary, Pudukkottai. The meeting was meant to animate the Deacons in practical aspects, liturgical instructions and rubrics of celebration of Sacraments. Fr. P. S. Joseph was present throughout the program, which started on 17th January 2022 and concluded on 21st January 2022. In those days, fathers from the minor seminary (Fr. C. Britto, the rector, Fr. Jerry, Fr. Selvamani, Fr. Christopher and Fr. Jayakumar) also assisted in animating the Deacons in practical details of celebration of Sacraments. We are grateful to all our fathers, who were part of this program. We are grateful to the Provincial and his team for helping us to have such an opportunity. Our special thanks to the fathers of SFS Minor seminary community for the hospitality shown and for the accommodation.
