FEAST OF ST.
FRANCIS OF ASSISI With immense joy and gratitude in our hearts we the
Darshanites celebrated the solemnity of our Seraphic father St. Francis
of Assisi, on 4th October 2016 at our DSA chapel. The atmosphere was
dazzling with the presence of our Capuchin friars, Parish Priests,
Sisters, Brothers from various communities along with some of our
Benefactors and well-wishers. Rev. Fr. Bonaventure from the diocese of
Karwar, presently at spiritual director at St. Peter’s Pontifical
Institute, Bangalore presided over the solemn festal eucharist. In his
scintillating homily, we were all urged to reflect and radiate the life
of St. Francis of Assisi. We are called to transfigure ourselves into
the image and likeness of God through the spirit and example of our
seraphic father. The DSA chapel wore an aesthetic look and angelic
singing by our brothers under the guidance of Fr. Rector, enhanced the
beautiful liturgy of the day. With fraternal greetings and a cordial
welcome at the outset, the celebration culminated with sumptuous meal
organized under the leadership of Fr. Basil Joseph. Our Capuchin
Hospitality was appreciated by everyone.
