Easter Vigil 2014 was celebrated with joy as the local church welcomed eleven new entrants who have accepted the faith. Six adults and 5 children were baptized into the catholic faith and have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. 
The fruit of prayer, sacrifice and commitment was visible as each of the six adults accepted Jesus and were baptized with holy water and anointed with the holy oils. Fr. Xavier sdb was the main celebrant and Fr. Calistus the parish priest joined in as the concelebrant. 
The Vigil Service ended with a 'Saha-bhojan' with the entire Catholic Community gathered that night, which indeed made it a special night to remember, not only for the newly baptized but all who were present. Many thanks to Sr. Divya and her team of catechists who have done a wonderful work of laying the foundation of good catholic faith in the lives of each of the newly baptized.
Happy Easter to one and all!
Have a wonderful Easter Season ahead!
~ Fr. Calistus Fernandes
