    www.goajesuits.com Vol. 29, No. 10, October 2020 Grateful hearts and New Fire in the Vineyard In the midst of these difficult times, we celebrate the calling of five of our province men who will be ordained this year—Raul and Steven on 17 October at Milagres Church in Khanapur, and Lindsay, Menoy, and Nigel on 30 December at the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Old Goa. While we may not be able to be physically present for these ordinations (owing to govt. restrictions), I request all province members to set aside time to follow the ordinations online (or together on your community TV) and support our men with your prayers. Every now and then the Vineyard also needs New Fire—a fire that purifies and a fire that enkindles other fires. Soon you will have two new booklets in your hands—the Province Apostolic Plan 2020 and the Goa Province Policy for Protection of Minors and Vulnerable Adults from Sexual Abuse and Harassment (2020). The PAP document will provide us with a direction and yet, we are flexible, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us at all times. The Protection Policy provides us with an opportunity to create safe, healthy, and happy environments for all those with whom we work. Despite the challenges of these times, many of our Jesuits worked hard to ensure that these two guiding documents were published so that we approach our mission with renewed enthusiasm. I encourage all to read them carefully, make your own notes in the margins, and use them well.
