The XVII Provincial Assembly, held from January 3-6, 2025, was a truly remarkable and grace-filled event. Fr Agnelo Fernandes MSFS enriched us with a thought-provoking recollection talk that set a profound and reflective tone for our deliberations. We were particularly blessed by the presence of Most Rev Elias Gonsalves, who presided over the inaugural Mass, imbuing the occasion with deep spiritual grace. The inaugural session itself was vibrant and meaningful, beautifully blending solemnity with the joy of celebrating our shared journey as a community.
Along with all the report presentations followed by discussions on the various aspects in line with the working paper, as well as with other matters of concern, a substantial portion of the Assembly was dedicated to planning the celebration of the Platinum Jubilee of Pallottine presence in India.
The sessions were marked by in-depth discussions and thoughtful analysis, creating an atmosphere of collaboration and mutual growth. The Provincial Assembly was a resounding success, leaving a lasting and cherished impression on each member.
