Birthday Celebration of Fr. Johny D’souza, SVD (Jan. 15, 2011)
The community celebrated the birth day of Rev Fr. Johny D’souza, SVD on 15th of January, which was also a feast day of the congregation. The Day began with Holy Eucharist preceded by a short morning prayer led by Br. Roshan Manoj Ekka of SVD. He gave a short introduction of Fr. Johny and also a background of how the congregation of Divine Word began. During the introduction to the Mass Bro. Naveen Pinto, again introduced us to the life journey of Fr. Johny, and during Homily Fr. Johny expressed his gratitude for the love that is shown by the community to him. We had grand breakfast. During the day there was a cricket match between the two groups formed among the brothers, viz. St. Arnold’s Club and D’souza Club. St. Arnold’s club was headed by Fr. Pius Lakra, SVD though under the captainship of Br. Bisnath Ekka and the other group was of Fr. Johny himself under the captainship of Bro. Ajil. However with an interesting encounter the Arnold’s Club was victorius.

In the evening there was a get together of the neighboring communities and we had grand agape after a short felicitation program. There was interesting commentary given by Bro. Vipin Tigga during the program. Fr. Theodore acknowledged the services rendered by Fr. Johny to community as the administrator of the house. Fr. Johny also thanked everyone. After the supper we had a movie.
