Chapter comes to end with Perpetual vows of Two brothers

Yesterday evening we finished discussing the agenda. The friars had some free time yesterday for themselves. This morning we had morning prayer and meditation. At 8.30 am we began our last session. The vision and mission of the province was approved. The recommendations and decisions were voted upon this morning. I was invited to give my concluding remarks to the capitular. I gave some suggestions for improvement and called friars to live the consecrated life in union with the Lord and St. Francis. 
 The newly elected provincial Br. John A. is proposing a vote of thanks to all the capitulars....He has license in the Canon Law and Masters in Civil Law. He is a good organizer and administrator....we pray and wish him all the best
 The eucharistic celebration celebrated at 11am...two brothers who professed their perpetual vows...their parents and family members were present to witness the great event...

 Two great stalwarts of the Province...Br. Jonathan and Joaquim....they are in their 80 but the smile is of their youth.....God bless you to keep smiling

 Perpetual profession......

 Listening to the Homily of Br. S. Lawrence....it was in tamil....

 Receiving of the vows by the new provincial....
