Community refreshed and renewed!

Bandra : The two retreats organized by the Formation Sector of the Province, one  at Santhi Sadana Spirituality Centre, Bengaluru and another at Carmel Haven, Pune, for all the senior members offered us a grace-filled and beautiful opportunity for a personal and community renewal.  Everyone who participated in the retreats felt that our retreat experience has really renewed and refreshed us both in mind, body and spirit. The thoughts and reflections shared by the retreat animators which were simple and down to earth, the peaceful and serene atmosphere of the retreat venues nestled in lap of nature, the warm and gracious hospitality of the retreat communities and the presence and interaction of the Provincial Superior with the members towards the end of the retreat made the entire experience very unique, rich and fruitful. “I see a lot of joy and liveliness, energy and enthusiasm among the members after our return from the retreat”, said Fr Johny Panamthanam, Superior of the Mumbai Community.  It is the ardent desire and hope of everyone that this renewed spirit and enthusiasm will continue in our communities for a long time to come.
