Fr. Pat Lucey, O.P., the Prior Provincial of Ireland (Our
Mother Province) laid the foundation for our Postulants'
house at Polali, Mangalore on the 21st of October 2007.
At the blessing of the foundation there is a custom of
burying some relics. Fr. Pat took out his own rosary
that he was wearing and laid it under the foundation
stone. He said that it symbolizes the presence and the
love of the Irish Province in all our undertakings and
specially in our formation. The brethren well
appreciated this simple and spontaneous gesture that
spoke to us of the great concern the Irish Province has
towards us. At present 20 postulants and three priests
are residing in the old and modified farm house. The
three priests who reside here are Fr. Peter Mendonsa
(Superior), Fr. Cyril Noronha (Bursar) and Fr. Shiju
Francis (Postulant Master).Though the present house is
very congested and not much place to move around, the
brethren are very happy and ready for any sacrifice. We
hope that within a year our new house of Postulancy will
be ready. Our special thanks to Fr. Pat Lucey. |
