Hearty Farewell to Brothers of Third Year Philosophy
We live in the world of flux; this flux is inevitable for every being in this world. It is by undergoing the change one attains authenticity in one’s being. Well indeed, the Third Year Philosophy brothers after having been formed to face the multi-faceted world with confidence and trust in the Lord were given hearty farewell. Under the guidance of General Prefect Bro. Subhash David Maghade, the Farewell programme was held on 24th evening. The event was memorable and a long cherished one as it comprised of dance drama, dance and farewell song. The entertainment program, which was a treat to the eyes, was staged by the First Year and Second Year Philosophy brothers on this occasion to honor them. In fact, a beautiful message was conveyed to them through the dance drama.
Fr. Praveen D’Souza, O.P the Dean of Philosophy Department shared his experiences by highlighting their unique potentialities. He wished them by saying ‘Do well in your ministry wherever you are placed or whatever ministry you hold.’ He also wished them all the best and good luck for the forthcoming University Examinations.

Indeed, it was the day of both joy and sorrow for the Carolian family. The joy was because of their successful stay and completion of Philosophical studies; but the sorrow was their absence in the family which would be soon felt in the community. However, Bro. John Peter of the Third Year Philosophy on behalf of the class expressed gratitude and thankfulness towards the community for the love and concern which they have experienced during their stay in St. Charles Seminary.

Grotto Feast
The feast of Our Lady of Lourdes at St. Charles Seminary Hills has become a popular pilgrimage in Nagpur for Christians as well as non-Christians. This is because of the miracles and healings often take place here for the believers. To celebrate the feast with great devotion and joy this year, there was a spiritual preparation for the devotees in the form of novena and confessions at the grotto. On Saturday, 11 February was the last day of novena and was concluded with the meaningful liturgy in the evening. A good number of devotees attended the Eucharistic celebration. Thereafter, a meaningful Dance Drama was displayed by the Brothers of St. Charles Seminary and boys and girls of Rosary Parish directed by Fr. Biju Sebastian, O.P,. The Dance Drama depicted the creation story of the universe as well as the life of Jesus from the Annunciation to Ascension. In fact, this play led the people to have faith in God who is Almighty and Powerful and also gave the message of God’s love to the people through His only Son Jesus Christ.
On Sunday, 12 February was the day for the Marian devotees who came from different parts of India with great intention and hope to have Darshan (visit) of Mother Mary who could intercede to her Son for all their needs and petitions. In the morning hour, the Eucharistic celebration was offered in many languages such as in Marathi, Hindi, English, Konkani, Malayalam and Telugu. Thousands of people attended the Holy Mass in the evening. The Archbishop Rt.Rev. Abraham Viruthankulangra was the main celebrant of the day who fed the devotees with his inspiring homily. After the mass, Rosary procession was held in which a big number of believers participated with candlelight. The procession went on at least one and half hour and concluded around 8.30p.m. Above all, everything went on very well by the intercession of Mother Mary.
