All the Brothers in formation came back after their vacation. We began our new academic year with the Holy Mass presided over by Fr. Mathew Maniamkerry in the morning.  Fr. Mathew was welcomed to the community as he joined the community as a conventual.  On the same day evening we gathered to welcome our newly professed brothers to the community, namely Bros. Bibin, Anughrah and Jeevan.  During the same program our dear Bros. Diljo amd Saneesh were given a farewell, as they were travelling for their six months mission experience next day.  The community also celebrated and wished  Fr. Augustine and Bro. Akhil, belated birthday.  We concluded our LCA (Literal and Cultural Academy) for the year of 2016-17.  Prizes were distributed to the winners of various competitions.  We had a beautiful time.
