Young Priests’ Gathering at Prerana(MSJ)

The hot blood of the Karnataka Jesuit Province came together for sharing and reflection on 2nd and 3rd of August at Prerana (Ignatian Spirituality Centre). The gathering began with a talk by Fr Freddie D’Silva on Priestly Mission in the Society of Jesus which led us into reflection and group sharing on the joys and challenges of a young priest in modern world. In the afternoon, we had a sharing by Dr Rajaram who spoke to us about his impression about the Jesuits which made us realize that we need to be authentic to our Call. On the 3rd, Fr William Sequeira enlightened us on Psycho-Spiritual Integration through an interactive session. No doubt the need of the hour is to be integrated Jesuits. Then our Provincial, Fr Vijay Prabhu, in his address gave us some guidelines so that we may be effective and efficient in our ministries. He also shared the dreams and challenges of the Province with the young priests. Many felt that it is worth coming together for sharing and reflection & the credit goes to Fr Melwyn Mendonca who meticulously planned out every detail of the programme. All the participants thanked the community of Mount St Joseph and the members of Prerana for the warmth and hospitality.
