With Gratitude and Hope in our Hearts! Novices Day 2011 was held on 6 March, in Mount St. Joseph Novitiate, which brought together for the last time in this academic year the Novices of six different religious houses namely- FSI sisters, Sisters of the Holy Spirit, Trinitarian brothers, Guanellian sisters, Franciscan sisters of Alverna Bhavan and the Jesuits. The day’s programme included a talk session by Fr Bitaju of the Trinity Ashram in the morning and a cultural programme in the afternoon.. He elaborated on the condition of the young generation based on the message of Pope Benedict XVI. The theme for the talk was “Planted and built up in Christ, firm in the faith”(Col 2:7). Six members of Jesus Youth were present to give a witness to their faith. After the sessions, we gathered around the Lord’s Table for the Eucharist. The afternoon saw an enthralling cultural programme by the novices. All through the fun and entertainment, they kept close to the theme of the day, “Dare to be different”, a clarion call which invites us to be creative and always new. The events of the day centered their focus on the modern youth, bringing out their joys, aspirations and struggles through skit, dance and songs. The photo session in the evening brought down the curtains on another fruitful academic year and a successful Novices' Day.
