The Making of a Jesuit Priest
Updated on Friday, August 6, 2021
The covid 19 pandemic led to severe travel restrictions as a result of which our Jesuit scholastics were unable to go to Pune, Delhi or overseas to online use their academic courses for their priestly formation. Thus, these courses were conducted online. The Thomas Stephen Konkani Kendra, Porvorim, was converted into a Scholasticate (seminary). Fr. Edmond Facho was in charge of the kitchen and Fr. Joseph Cardozo of the scholastics. The idea of forming this makeshift seminary was to bring them under one roof so that they do not miss out on their important stage of formation. It was also to experience God through their time-table (prayer, Eucharist, studies, games, works, etc.), and to learn together. They were provided uninterrupted Internet. Two of the scholastics had to join their companions (virtually) studying in the US and due to the time difference, they had classes at night.
