On
July 6, 2006 Jeevan Dham completed
its 15 precious years in the service of the poor, the needy,
the sick and the dejected. Besides celebrating the 15th Anniversary of Jeevan Dham, another reason for a great celebration was the completion of 20 years since the Eucharistic Service started in the House.
To celebrate this joyous occasion,
the Archbishop of the Delhi Archdiocese Most Rev. Vincent M. Concessao was invited to offer a Thanksgiving Mass for
JEEVAN DHAM. By 11:30 a.m. People
from far and near gathered to share in our happiness. The Archbishop
arrived at 12:15 p.m.and was welcomed with garlands and shower of rose petals following a dance by little girls dressed like angels. Other
priests from different parishes in Delhi, Gurgaon and Faridabad joined
His Grace in this celebration. The eleven concelebrants – Rev. Fr. Johnson Kizhakkeveetil (our Parish Priest), Rev. Fr.
Anthony Francis, Rev. Fr. Albert Francis, Rev. Fr. Arnold David,
Rev. Fr. Maxim Pinto , Rev. Fr. George Manimala, Rev. Fr. Thomas Urumbumkuzhy,
Rev. Fr. Thomas Chambakatt, Rev. Fr. Varghese SVD, Rev. Fr. George Panakal and Rev. Fr. Claude D'Souza gathered around the altar
along with the Archbishop for the Holy Mass.
His Grace gave a meaningful and inspiring sermon after reading the Gospel. He prayed that the good works
and service may increase manifold and that many more people
may come to know the true God, experience His true joy, peace
and love through this family and all the volunteers involved.
May all receive a new life in Christ through them, may they
succeed in their service to God and men.
The bishop happily gave his blessings
to all the believers present. The big 15th Anniversary Cake was cut by the Archbishop along with the Jeevan Dham family. Later, along with him, the concelebrants and all the sisters present (25 of them) joined for table fellowship.
We are thankful to Almighty God
for all these favours we received on that day. We thank all
the fathers and sisters who took out their precious time and
came to celebrate with us the anniversary of Jeevan Dham from
far and near along with the Bishop, without whom our joy and
blessings could not have been manifold. We pray that more and
more people may join us in prayer as 24hr. adoration is
going on everyday for the past three years, that they may
praise and glorify the name of Jesus through their words and
deeds, and by adoring Him in spirit and truth may they obtain
heavenly graces and blessings, attain the perfection in love,
joy, faith and wisdom and become His beloved children to inherit
Eternal Life in Heaven. PRAISE THE LORD!
Alleluia!
Alleluia!...
