The Order of Discalced Carmelites (OCD) of the Manjummel Province gathered on Saturday at the Immaculate Conception Church, Manjummel, to honor and pray for the departed Fathers and Brothers of the province. The solemn commemoration, held at 3:30 PM, brought together members of the Carmelite family and the relatives of the departed.

The Eucharistic celebration was presided over by Fr. Provincial Dr. Augustine Mulloor OCD, along with concelebrating priests from the province. During the Mass, Fr. Thomson Thannikkapilly OCD delivered a touching and inspiring homily, reflecting on the legacy of faith, sacrifice, and service left behind by the deceased members. He reminded the congregation of their duty to carry forward the spiritual mission of their predecessors.

Following the Mass, a heartfelt prayer service was held at the cemetery, where the community gathered to offer prayers for the repose of the departed souls. The cemetery, beautifully adorned for the occasion, became a sacred space for remembrance, gratitude, and hope in eternal life.

The event was marked by a profound sense of unity and spiritual reflection, as the relatives of the departed members joined the Carmelite community in honoring the lives and contributions of those who dedicated themselves to the service of God and His people.

This annual commemoration continues to be a cherished tradition, reminding the Carmelite family of their shared heritage and the enduring bonds of faith and prayer that connect them with their departed brethren.
