Our Multifacetic Joyfulness


This December 08/2016 has been an especial day for our Claret Nivas community and for all Claretian Community in Sri Lanka and the whole world as well, because we have celebrated the temporary deaconate ordination of our brother Tharaka Dinidu Perera, cmf. 





                                             Muchas Felicidades!!!

As everybody knows that the deaconate ministry belongs to the very origin of Christian communities, where they have been appointed men and women to SERVE the poor, this is the particular connotation of this ministry: social service. Today let us say to promote social and ecological justice; however, this original calling was distorted in the history of the church since third century towards making it more liturgical and bishops collaborators, moreover abolishing women’s participation in this worthy ministry.

All members of our community, parents and relatives of brother Tharaka, we enjoy this Good News. In the same day we celebrated the birthday of our brothers Pretheep and Kirishanth; the Lector ministry of our brothers Johnson cmf, Suthashan cmf and Annroy cmf; the Acolyte ministry of brothers Christy cmf and Iresh cmf; the fifty years of  priestly ordination anniversary of Rt. Rev. Dr. Vianney Fernando, Bishop of Kandy diocese, who was happily celebrating and sharing his experience to all of us. 




And as entire church, every year we celebrate the feast of Immaculate Conception of Mary. So this multiple celebration was a wonderful thanks given to God’s calling to the life and specific vocation as missionaries.
