Rev. Fr. Alwyn P. D’Silva ...“You are Priest forever in the order of Melchizedek”
The Second day of the month of March, in the year of Our Lord Two Thousand Eleven remained a memorable day for the Capuchins of Holy Trinity Province, Karnataka as their brother deacon Alwyn Paschal D’Silva received the grace of Ordination to Holy Priesthood. The bishop of Chikmagalur Most Rev. Dr. T. Antony Swamy ordained the Ordinandi amidst the august gathering in the church dedicated to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, Koppa. The Ordination ceremony was a gracious event witnessed by around 50 priests, many religious men and women, relatives and friends and Benefactors of Rev. Fr. Alwyn D’Silva.
It was in the year of the Lord, the Jubilee Year 2000, while pursuing BBM studies Fr. Alwyn D’Silva was called by the Lord to be his disciple. Thus, he joined the Capuchin Order and did his simple profession on 16th May, 2001 and Perpetual Profession on 3rd May, 2009. The Holy Trinity Province congratulates and rejoices with him as he ascends the altar of God to pray and offer sacrifice for himself and for his people. May the Lord who called him and anointed him be his strength and support to work selflessly in His vineyard.
