On this day of solemnity of St. Joseph not only the Seminary celebrated its Patron’s Day but also the Seminary had the joy of receiving the new priests who were ordained the previous year. All the new priests except one were present for the celebration. Rev. Fr. Bodhak, Diocese of Nasik was the main celebrant and Rev. Fr. Christopher, Diocese of Gumla preached the homily. The usual programme of sharing the life experience as new priests was held after breakfast. There was a friendly cricket match and a thanksgiving cultural programme in the evening marked the day. The Novena too was solemnly concluded. As a whole it was a day of great joy and blessing to all.
