FAITH FORMATION
On 22nd July 2022, a one-day retreat was organized in the Mount St. Joseph premises by the Campus Ministry of Loyola Degree College for all the Christian students of the college.
There were about 55 students who had attended this retreat along with 2 faculties. The preacher for the retreat was Rev Fr. Jerome D’Souza SJ. The retreat started with the reflection from the book of Revelation about the heavenly visions of John
Later the preacher gave the insight about the cost of discipleship in India. He explained the current situation in which the Christians of India are living in along with the statistics. After a short break, the students were made to reflect the beauty of creation through videos and stories. It gave a wonderful thought for the students to thank the creator for his uniqueness and love for each one of his creations personally and the responsibility of the creation to discern gods will that has to be fulfilled through their lives. In the afternoon, there were penitential rites for the students, where the areas through which the distance is created between God and his people were discussed. The retreat concluded with the mass in the evening.
To increase the love of Christ in the students the college offers theology classes for the Christian students and mass is organized every 1st Friday of the month and value education classes are arranged to all the students.
