The gathering last night was a source of immense joy, as around 100 participants came together to honor Rev. Fr. Hillary D’Souza SJ, the former President of SOXA. As mentioned earlier, the event highlighted his continuous and substantial contributions to SOXA. His speech was also filled with genuine emotions and well-wishes.

Rev. Fr. Alban Minj SJ, the Province Coordinator for the alumni, warmly welcomed the guests.

During the formal session, there was a productive group discussion where different groups presented reports containing suggestions and feedback. Currently, these suggestions are under review, and we are committed to gradually integrating them.

Both, the President Rev. Fr. Arul Doss SJ and the Vice President Mr. Om Prakash Chaturvedi stressed the crucial importance of strengthening the association’s foundation.

Consistently, Fr. Arul has emphasized in board meetings, Kolkata Get-together, and even yesterday, the significance of hosting such family-oriented reunions every three months. We eagerly anticipate these gatherings.
