PROFILE OF THE COMMUNITY
Our community consists of Bro. Heldon as Director, Bro. Amalan as Dean of studies and Bro. Philip (Ireland) as additional Staff. Novices are spiritually nourished by Fr. Charles, Joby and Fr. Lourdu (Holy Cross Fathers). All the novices are appreciative and grateful to Bro. Felix and Bro. Uvari for being their vocation Promoter. Nature of the Novitiate
From the code of Cannon Law, (646): The purpose of the Novitiate, by which life in an Institute begins, is to give the novices a greater understanding of their Divine Vocation, and of their vocation to that Institute and form their minds and hearts in its spirit. At the same time, their resolution and suitability are to be tested.”
