Ordination to the Diaconate – Rev. Bro. Santana, SSS

The Province of Christ rejoiced, once again, as Bro. Santana, SSS was ordained a Deacon on October 19th, 2023 by Rt. Rev. Dr. Winston Fernando, SSS. The celebration took place at the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament Scholasticate, Ampitya, Kandy.

It was a joyous occasion, not only for Bro. Santana, but for the entire Province of Christ. The presence of 22 priests from the SSS communities is a testament to the esteem in which Bro. Santana is held, and the high expectations that are placed upon him.

He will begin his diaconal ministry by serving the first two months in St. Thomas Church, Matale, the next two months in St. Philip Neri’s Church, Pettah, and the last two months in Periyavilan parishes being attached to the Sillalai community.

As he embarks on his diaconal ministry, Bro. Santana will undoubtedly be a source of blessing to the communities he serves. His dedication to the Gospel and his commitment to serving others will be an inspiration to all who encounter him.

We pray that Bro. Santana will find joy and fulfillment in his diaconal service. May he be a faithful witness to the Gospel and a servant of God’s people.

May God bless Bro. Santana in his ministry, and may he continue to grow in his love for Christ and His Church.

Congratulations, Bro. Santana!
