A joyful and memorable celebration of gratitude and fraternity was held at Karunalayam, Vellappanchavadi, on 16 September, marking the Silver Jubilee of Rev. Fr. M. I. Raj SSS in the Priesthood and Rev. Fr. Tiago SSS in Religious Life.

The celebration brought together a large gathering of priests and religious, members of the Congregation, family members, friends, well-wishers and members of the Eucharistic family. Their presence made the occasion a beautiful expression of gratitude and affection towards the two Jubilarians, who have generously offered twenty-five years of their lives to God and His people.

For Fr. M. I. Raj SSS, the occasion marked 25 years of priestly ministry. It was an opportunity to thank God for the gift of his vocation, his service at the altar and his commitment to the mission of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament.

For Fr. Tiago SSS, the Jubilee celebrated 25 years of religious consecration. His journey has been a witness to fidelity to the call of Christ and to the charism and mission of the Congregation.

The celebration was filled with prayer, Eucharistic thanksgiving, fellowship, words of appreciation and joyful moments shared with the Jubilarians. The gathering at Karunalayam became a fitting occasion to look back with gratitude on twenty-five years of vocation and to look forward with renewed faith and hope.

The entire Eucharistic family congratulated the two Jubilarians and prayed that the Eucharistic Lord may continue to strengthen, guide and bless them, making their lives ever more fruitful in His service.

Congratulations, Fr. M. I. Raj SSS and Fr. Tiago SSS! Ad multos annos!
