Bro. Johnson Baby LCA 2012-’13 A VIBGYOR OF TALENTS The year that went by saw Carmel Jyothi being colored with various literary, cultural and sports competitions that serve as a reminder of how all of us are a team. It included events like debate, drama, song and speech competition, essay, poem, story writing and pencil drawing. Numerous sports events like volley ball, basket ball and cricket were also conducted. To honour Fr. Rector a day was set apart and Rector’s day was celebrated with sports events and a cultural evening. Besides the regular cultural events at Carmel Jyothi, brothers conducted stunning programs in Jeevalaya, Holy Cross Convent, and in Andhra mission. However a balance constantly maintained to allow students to explore their potential, while retaining the essential focus on academics. CARMEL DARSAN March 2013 14
15 Sweet and Unforgettable Memories of Little Flower Church, Bangalore “……Every today is your yesterday’s tomorrow Or your tomorrows yesterday Hence if you make your every today a fruitful day You will have no tomorrow to fret about and no yesterday to regret…..” We look back with joy and gratitude to the accomplishments of our parish “Little Flower Church, Kothannoor Dinne, Bangalore”. 11th January 2012 remains a memorable day in the history of the Little Flower Parish. With commitment we are bound to aspire greater and greater, grow sweeter and sweeter, act smarter and smarter, glow brighter and brighter and achieve bigger and bigger. The hard work of buying this plot of land and completing the small wing of the proposed church will not be easily forgotten... hard work is pleasure only for those who are prepared to bear its pressure.... that satisfaction is bound to be more comforting than the struggle gone into it... it is nothing compared to the temporary church and the area around it for all requirements of the church like catechism, common gatherings and celebrations. At the completion of construction of the church, Most Rev. Dr. Bernard Moras, Archbishop of Bangalore promised us to come and bless this new and temporary Church on 12th January 2012 but unfortunately due to his ill health he cancelled all his appointments in the archdiocese. Thus in his absence Rt. Rev. Dr. Thomas Vazhappilly, Bishop of Mysore accepted our invitation and blessed the new Church in the presence of Provincial Very Rev. Fr. Sojan Neendoor O. Carm., Councillor Rev. Fr. Shaji Kuzhinjalil, Superior Rev. Fr. Robert Thomas Pudussery and the entire community of Carmel Jyothi. Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle and the life of the candle will not be shortened....I cannot but forget the generous contributions of people who have financially assisted us to realize our dream come true... Martin Luther puts it beautifully when he says “I have held many things in my hands and lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands that I still posses”. Second unforgettable sweet memory of our parish is Popular Mission Retreat. It was conducted from 18th March to 25th March 2012. It was a new experience for everyone in the parish also it was the first Popular Mission retreat conducted in Bangalore. We remember with gratitude all the Vincentian Fathers Jomon, Saji and Lijo for preaching the retreat and visiting the families especially Fr. Zacharias Edattu, popular mission director of the time, who made possible arrangements within short time. The parishioners were privileged to receive Mar George Njaralakattu, Bishop of Mandya on the concluding day of the Popular Mission Retreat. His grace celebrated Holy Mass and enriched the believers with his powerful message... The Annual Parish Feast, First Marriage celebrations in the parish, Onam celebrations, Holy Communion and Confirmation and Christmas celebrations in our new Church premises are also part of sweet memories…. shared fruits are the best investments one can ever think of. The Parishioners of Little Flower Church with their valuable and generous contributions bought a car for the parish priest to fulfill the pastoral needs of the parishioners easier by the Parish Priest. I hope the attach pictures will help you to understand how we are cherished and blessed by God’s blessings within the short time. Fr. Babychan Kunnappillil O. Carm. CARMEL DARSAN March 2013
