Vocation Horizon in Bicol
The result was very encouraging as we get a good number of interested applicants for our congregation and a regular flow of young men at our monthly search-in program. The Bicolandia was known as fertile ground for vocations to the priesthood and religious life, but the influence of a modern lifestyle and the deteriorating moral fibers of the young had caused a downturn in the amount of vocations in the local Church. Moreover, as we move around various places of the region, we see a glimmer of hope. The surge of enthusiasm and the animated discussions with our young people on the sharing of life’s journey, faith experiences and congregational input is of great interest for them. Yes, vocation promotion is a work of the Spirit and the Spirit works in mysterious ways, sometimes even in our humble effort of making our presence felt in the often arduous and painful journey of our young people. |
Pilgrimmage to Palavakkam
Chennai - For the academic year of 2009-2010, we planned to go on three educational picnics. The second picnic, February 6th, was part of a visit to St. Antony’s Shrine in Palavakkam. It is a pilgrimage site where many miracles have been taken place. Children and Staff were happy to visit the shrine and pray to God through the intercession of St. Antony. We packed our lunch and had a picnic on the church grounds. After lunch, we went to Govalam Beach, a perfect spot near this seashore shrine to relax the children’s minds. Children were happy to see the seashore and since many of them are homebound, it was a welcomed respite for them. There is no limit to measure the joy that existed among children of Don Guanella Rehabilitation Center. |
