A Splendid Day – Novices’ Day 2012

A splendid year of inter-novitiate activities was given a fitting finish on the Novices’ Day held on March 4 at Mount St Joseph. The events of the day were a fruit of the combined efforts of five Novitiates - Alverna Sisters, Guanellians, FSI sisters, Holy Spirit sisters and the Jesuits. Fr Loddy SDB was the resource person for the talk in the morning who presented a whole new view of new evangelization. Punctuated with video clips and group activities, the talk gave a perfect start for the day. During the Eucharist at midday, Fr Loddy invited the Novices to share their vocation stories. After the fellowship lunch, the Novices were in the limelight during the cultural programme. Their thrilling performances clinched the attention of the audience. We were happy to have many religious, candidates, children and students from the neighbouring religious houses to witness the event. The talk by Fr Matthew, the Chief Guest added a poignant touch to the programme. We are grateful to our formators who were always behind us to give us a supporting hand. Novices’ Day became a wonderful occasion for sharing, learning, reflection and celebration and we thank everyone who have joined hands in making this day a fulfilling experience.
