Harvest Master continues to shower his bountiful blessing to St. Thomas Quasi Province. Today, on April 10 2021, His grace Bishop Sebastian Adayanthrath, Prelate of Mandya diocese, ordained Rev. Lijo Arackalan to the Sacred Order of Priesthood.

Due to Covid 19 social restrictions, only 200 people could participate in this blessed celebration. Yet, the solemnity of the celebration was its finest way in this wonderfully decorated Church. The graceful presence of Bishop Adayanthrath, well-organized celebration of ordination rite and active participation of the choir and laity made the day more significant. The celebration continued with the First Holy Mass presided over by Fr Lijo and many priests joined him in this concelebrated Holy Eucharist. The entire celebration ended with a short congratulation ceremony and a delicious dinner. All gathered thanked and praised God for His marvelous blessing to the church and to the congregation.
