Saturday 22 August 2020, was an auspicious and a great day for Deacon Sachin Kadam for on this day he totally surrendered himself to being another Christ and was ordained a Priest, by Bishop Lourdes Daniel of the Diocese of Nashik, at St. John Bosco Church Savedi,-Ahmednagar.

In a very simple yet meaningful Eucharistic celebration with a very limited congregation comprising priests, family members and a few close relatives, Father Sachin Kadam pronounced his obedience and acceptance to be a pastor, saying , Yes Lord, I love You very much, You know that."

In his homily, Bishop Daniel stressed some important points which not only related to Father Kadam, but to all present. He said, "personal prayer life, apart from whatever ministry or work we do is very important. I urge all to keep the Cross as a model in front of us and always to cling to God in all good and difficult situations that come in life." .

Father Kadam along with his parents and the rest of his family thanked the participating assembly for adhering to the social distancing directives, and prayed for those who could not be invited due to the prevailing situation.
