Sion Novitiate, Manalikkad,

Dear Brothers thank you so much for reading my blog and also commenting on it. I am happy to update practically everyday but sometimes I am not able to due to travel or lack of internet availability. I would appreciate your most valuable suggestions to improve the presentation of my blog....
 The novices of st. Francis and Prem Jyoti Custody....they are 16 of them .....equal number of novices both the jurisdiction has.....Prem Jyoti is really working hard to promote good vocations....congratulations to the custos and the vocation promoters....God bless your efforts in bringing good candidates for the Order

 The Novice Novice Master Joy Joseph....a late vocation...he joined at the age of almost 35 years old...he is an artist and painter....now he is spiritually painting the lives of the novices...simple and down to earth man....

 The campus is very beautiful....it is all nature around....they have about 11 acres of land....a river flowing by.....all green throughout the year....

 The various moments from the life of Jesus and Francis are depicted all around in the campus.....

 Novitiate house....not very big but small and conducive for the novices....

 Vice Novice Master Jose Dileep and Novice Master

 Simple chapel for the novices,,...every day about 50 people come for the eucharist.....all catholics around....
 Refectory for the friars....congested ....but you eat well here.....

 The Novices come out with beautiful songs and dances ....a cultural program.....what a talent!!!God bless these holy novices who are in tune with the spirituality and also with the world.....

 Dancing to the tune of a country spiritual song...

 A small musical dance.....driving the evil through prayer and fidelity to Jesus....
