BP. VIANI FERNANDO VISITS OBLATE NOVITIATE

The 6th of March marked a great significant day to our family, the Sacred Heart Novitiate O.M.I, because of the arrival of his lordship Rt. Rev.Dr Viani Fernando, the bishop of Kandy diocese. We welcomed his lordship to our midst with great honor. Further, accepting the invitation of our Novice Master, Rev. Fr. Jagath Anthony O.M.I, and his lordship addressed the Novices in the evening. In his address he highlighted the missionary dimension of the priestly vocation and encouraged them to be dedicated oblate priests in the future. Then we had a get-together to make the day more colourful. And after a great dinner, we said goodbye to his lordship and thanked him for his visit. by Novice Dilshan Perera
