Provincial House, Enekipadu, Vijayawada

 The visitation began Sunday morning with an opening talk on our Capuchin Charism, spirituality and the present situation in the Church and the Order......the entire fraternity was present for the talk....led by the provincial and others.....the friars did not take up any ministry outside...normally they go out on sundays for pastoral ministry....


 the whole day i dedicated time to meeting the friars individually....all of them came to see me.....the guardian had planned it out well.......
 In the evening we spent one hour in adoration....thanking and praising the Lord for all the wonderful gifts and talents.....blessings.....it was a great moment....to spend time together with the Lord....

 This morning we celebrated the feast of St. James.....presided over by me......we concluded the visitation by celebrating a local chapter.....a dialogue with the fraternity....
 The provincial fraternity....with the Provincial, economo, secretary, postnovices....one is getting ready to fly to Swiss for his Theological studies...Br. Emmanuel one is the senior most.....he is a designer....he helps many religious congregations and dioceses to design churches, convents, schools and halls.....he is 83 years old....strong both in mind and body....  
 The provincial Curia....well kept and neat.....the minor seminarians from the near by friary help the provincial fraternity to keep clean the house and the surroundings....
