Regina Ceali Convent celebrated the golden years of its existence in Queen of the universe Church, Ranipura on 20th February 2017. It was indeed a day of gratitude to celebrate God’s goodness and blessings down through the years.
The history of the convent and the Congregation was meaningfully depicted through power point presentation followed by Bethany anthem and the entrance procession of the bethanites which impressed the gathering. The Jubilee Eucharistic was celebrated by Rev. Fr. J.B. Saldana Vicar general and was con- celebrated by Fr. Santhosh D’ Souza the Parish priest and Fr. Alvito Carmelite priest (Ryshivana).
