In keeping with the tradition of the province, the Salesians of Shillong Province gathered on 03^rd November 2022 at the cemetery chapel in Laitumkhrah where the deceased Salesians were laid. There was a sizable number of priests, Salesian brothers, clerics, novices and some aspirants.  

The programme began with the recitation of the Holy Rosary with the sole intention of praying for the eternal repose of the souls of the deceased Salesians. It was then followed by the Holy Eucharist presided over by Fr. John Zosiama, the Vice Provincial and concelebrated by more than 30 priests. At the very outset of the celebration Fr. John welcomed everyone and thanked them for their availability. In the homily, Fr. Jose Varickasseril shared the anecdotes about some of the deceased Salesians and their contributions to the Church and the Congregation.

At the end of the Mass the graves of the deceased Salesians were blessed while the choir sung a hymn.
