Month Retreat and Cassock Day 2020

We the first year novices are in an ecstasy after our Month long Retreat under the guidance of Fr.Jossy Rodrigues, our Novice director.
We were blessed to receive incessant graces from God. This experience of Jesus is indeed the foundation for our future Jesuit life. 
We are truly grateful to God for moulding us and shaping our lives according to his plan and design. To double our joy we got Cassocks on 12th of February, 2020.  With that, we also received our Minor Orders from Fr.Provincial.

Mission Experiment of the Novices 2020


Novitiate is a lab of experiments and so, in the Month of January we, eleven second year novices went to different Mission places such as Manvi, Bijapur-Sindagi, and Mundgod for our Mission experiment.
It was a time of grace for us to walk with the Lord, among the downtrodden and put into practice the graces we obtained in our Month’s Long Retreat.
After being with the poor and the neglected we have come to realize what it is to love and serve the Lord and to follow his footsteps.
