Last Saturday a warm welcome was given by
the 2nd year brothers of Philosophy to Rev. Fr Nilantha
Ediriwickrema and 30 3rd and 1st year brothers who joined
the Philosophate family. The occasion commenced with the Holy Mass followed by
a variety entertainment. Rev. Fr Nilantha Ediriwickrema, 23 brothers who came
after completing their formation in the intermediate seminary at Kalutara and 7
brothers who came after finishing the 2nd year of Philosophy at St.
Francis Xavier’s seminary in Jaffna introduced themselves to the Philosophate
family. The new brothers performed items during the variety entertainment
programme. Very Rev. Fr Elmo Dias in his speech reminded all the brothers that
we should be happy always without just getting by in the seminary and we should
carry our own cross during this journey towards the priesthood. We wish all the
very best to all the new comers and a joyful stay.
