The theme "Soldier, Sinner, Saint" resonated throughout the Ignatian month, setting the stage for a grand celebration. Bursting with enthusiasm, the novices made sure to celebrate the feast of St. Ignatius with boundless energy and vigour. As we approached the feast day, we novices deepened our Ignatian spirits through various activities during Fiesta-2023. It was a moment to sharpen our already existing abilities and talents and to explore areas unfamiliar to us.
Leading up to the festive culmination, Fr. Jimmy Dhabi addressed the entire community on the theme 'giving up'. He illuminated Ignatius's selfless sacrifice of worldly possessions, leaving us profoundly enlightened.
We also prepared ourselves spiritually through meaningful novena prayers and confession. Moreover, we engaged intellectually in an invigorating community quiz. All these community activities offered a multifaceted tribute to the legacy of St. Ignatius.
The novitiate community also played a significant role in the Ignatius feast celebration at the Jesuit Parish, 'Immaculate Heart of Mary Church', Kalena Agrahara. As the curtains closed on the Ignatian month for this year, a grand gathering was arranged for the parish priests, religious priests and sisters, and well-wishers. The novices took center stage, delivering a performance that radiated excellence. The feast of St. Ignatius has left an indelible mark on the hearts and souls of all who partook in the jubilation, creating an impression that will forever resonate.
