Revive Retreat 2017-18

Desalite Christian association of St. Francis De Sales College, organised a retreat tagged ‘’REVIVE 2017’’ on the 29th of July, 2017. The retreat was facilitated by the Jesus youth movement and was a fun filled and memorable one. The retreat started at 9.15am with the welcoming of guests and the invoking of God’s presence through a prayer song led by the Jesus youths.

Soon after the prayer song, the principal addressed the gathering and requested the students to take the opportunity to reference God and also pray for him for God’s guidance so he can continue piloting the affairs of the great institution, the teaching and non-teaching faculty of the college and their families.

After the principal’s address, the Jesus youth took over the session and started off with an action song to rejuvenate and reenergize everyone present.

Moving on, Mr. Robert handled the first session and spoke about sin and how it sheers us away from Gods love. He gave his life experiences and spoke about the various kinds of sins and imploredthe students to avoid them in their pursuit of Christ as they are hindrances. Further into the retreat, priests where available for confessions (For Catholics only) and counselling (For both Catholics and non-Catholics).

The holy mass was celebrated by Rev. Dr. Herold Christopher and Rev. Fr. Jijo at 12.15pm and the lunch was served at 1.15pm to all the participants.

Furthermore, Mr. Jose Sebastine handled the next talk session and spoke about life in the Holy Spirit. He explained that the Holy Spirit could be presented as a person and most of the times people are too busy to notice Him. He gave real life experiences and elucidated on how we should notice the presence of the Holy Spirit.

At 3.15pm adoration was conducted by Rev. Fr. Jijo Jose and the participants witnessed God in the Blessed Sacrament, pouring out their hearts and minds to Him.

In conclusion, ‘The Jesus youth’ thanked all the participants for their patience and determination to do the work of God. In return, a vote of thanks was proposed by Desalite Prabhu after which the vice-principal addressed the gathering thanking the Jesus youth and the participants once again.The retreat ended at 4.00pm with an action song.
