BIS #6473 Salesian Brothers' Meet in Nashik

by Brother Bryce Fernandes for BISMumbai


The Salesian Brothers of the Salesian Province of Bombay met for their ongoing formation programme in Divyadaan-Nashik from 29 September to 02 October 2021. The meeting saw the participation of 08 brothers.

On the first day, they were invited by His Grace Lourdes Daniel-Bishop of Nashik- to join in the Diocesan monthly recollection. The recollection was preached by Mr. Ivan Netto on the topic ‘Celibacy for the Kingdom’.

In following days MumbaiSalesians' Novice Master-Father Wyman Gonsalves animated the brothers, and shared his reflection on the profession of vows and community life. In every session Father Gonsalves invited the brothers to share their personal experiences in these aspects.

Each day the brothers took turns to give conferences to the novices at STI (Salesian Training Institute). They also joined in the games with STI novices and the Divyadaan brothers.

The final session was guided by the MumbaiSalesians' ViceProvincial-Father Ashley Miranda, to help the brothers evaluate the previous lines of action and taking new ones.
