The Province of St. Maximilian M. Kolbe in India has begun its 2022-23 pre-novitiate year.

On Wednesday, July 6, 2022, at 7:00 p.m., an inaugural ceremony was held at the St. Anthony of Padua Friary in Puthenchira East, Kerala State, India. At that time, nine postulants began their year of preparation for the novitiate. They were welcomed by the Minister Provincial of India, Friar Bonaventura KALLUVETTUKUZHIYIL, who presided over the ceremony. The Rector of Pre-novices, Friar Elias THEKKEMUNDACKAPADAVIL, and the Provincial Secretary, Friar Williams PENGIPARAMBAN, also took part in the event.
We hope our confreres will experience this year of discernment in trusting abandonment to the Lord and we assure them that we are with them in prayer.
