BIS #2154 DEANERY RECOLLECTION FOR CATECHISTS

MATUNGA, NOVEMBER 30, 2010: The second North Bombay [East] Deanery Recollection for the Sunday School and Regular School Catholic Teachers was held at Don Bosco, Matunga, on Sunday, November 28, 2010. This activity is one of the components of the multifaceted ministry of Don Bosco Youth Services, for the Archdiocese.


There was a good turnout of sixty five Teachers from seven parishes and eight schools. The animator was Fr. K. T. Emmanuel, of St Vincent’s Parish, Chuim, Khar. He conducted an enlightening session on the theme: “Creation: An opportunity for Stewardship”, using a Power point presentation and group discussions. There was a lively participation. A meaningful Prayer Service was conducted wherein all the teachers participated prayerfully. The ambient was very prayerful.

The evening then winded with delicious dinner.

Prior to the Recollection about half an hour was spent meeting the Coordinators of the Parishes. The attendance was admirable. We discussed about the CTC graduates of the Parish, the Choir Festival, the closing programme for the year, about what they have done on the theme “creation” during the year & each parish was given a session to conduct in their own parish and lastly the setting up of the Pastoral Teams for each Parish. All those attending felt encouraged and supported
