Youthful vibrancy and enthusiasm was evident in the ambience of Mount St Joseph when the young priests of our Province gathered at Prerana for the Young Priests’ Meet. It was time to unwind with the Lord and our companions. “It is the love and acceptance of others that make us the unique persons that we are!” The meeting was held on 27 & 28 August and was attended by almost all. The schedule included talk, sharing and discussion with Fr Willie Sequeira. In his inimitable style, Fr Freddie D’Silva highlighted the need to be priests of depth, creativity and spirituality in today’s context. Of course, Fr Freddie has challenged us to be loyal, happy and creative Jesuits. Our dear Provincial, Fr Francis Serrao, banking on his immense experience offered us some important guiding principles to be faithful and fruitful priests in our ministries.
The First meeting of the young Priests was relaxing and refreshing. All felt that it was memorable and meaningful. We are grateful to Fr Freddie for accompanying us on our life journey. Fr Sunil Fernandes, the Coordinator of the event left no stones unturned to effectively marshal the activities meticulously. We express our heart-felt gratitude for the cordial and bountiful hospitality to the Mount St Joseph Community. Frs Francis Menezes and Maxim Misquith merit our special thanks for making our stay enjoyable and revitalizing. (The next meeting of the Young Priests will be held in Jnana Jyothi, Anekal on 4 & 5 of February, 2012.)
