NOVICES' DAY OUT

The Novices had a wonderful time visiting some of the historical places of Bengaluru as part of their 'BENGALURU DARSHAN' on November 7, 2012. The Novitiate community thanks the community members of Arrupe Nivas, Navasadhana and Xavier Nilaya of Patna province for their warm hospitality.   

LET US DEBATE...

The Novices had an opportunity to exhibit their debating skills on November 2, 2012. "It is possible to weed out corruption from India" and "Modern gadgets ruin the life of today's youth" were the topics for the debate. This event  certainly helped the Novices to sharpen their intellect.
