Called to serve our Mother, the Church!<\/strong><\/p>\n

On June 5, 2023, his Excellency Most Rev Peter Paul Saldanha, Bishop of Mangalore, ordained five Carmelite Brothers of the Karnataka Goa Province as deacons, in Jeppu, along with eight Diocesan Brothers. Many dioceses and religious priests participated in the Mass. Each of the brothers’ families was present. The Mariya Jayanti Hall on the Seminary grounds organized a brief felicitation programme to congratulate the newly ordained deacons. We express our deep joy at the ordination of these Brothers to the diaconate and pledge our fervent support for their ministry.<\/p>\n
