Edison entered the Canonical year of Novitiate on 30th May 2016, at St Pauls Parish Church in Bangalore.

After having accepted the request of the aspiring novices, in a short homily Fr Provincial reminded them the importance of the year of Novitiate and exhorted them to grow in their humane qualities of love, compassion and generosity and deepen their knowledge of the Pauline Spirituality and mission. He entrusted the novices to the care of Fr George Kaitholil, the new novice master. The Novice Master congratulated the novices and welcomed them with a loving gesture of shaking hands.
