Youth: the hope of future

-


After over a yearlong nationwide lockdown and lockdown restrictions, the youths of our parish were able to come together for their ‘Youth Day Celebration.’ It’s a time for them to come together, know one another, build, and nurture their relationship of oneness as parish youth and its future. They were all enthusiastic and happy. One could perceive the deep longing for coming together. Hence, we were surprised to see more than the expected number of energetic boys and girls for the program. The program was a great success, and the credit goes to our animators of the day Frs. Neelam, Augustine, and Sch. Telesphore. They stirred the minds and hearts of the youth and filled them with energy and hope. They all went home with new hope and new energy. Thanks to our Youth Core Team for organizing such a beautiful program. 

Well-done! But remember it’s just a beginning. Keep reminding yourselves of the words of American poet Robert Frost: 

“…The woods are lovely, dark, and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”

In the darkness of ‘uncertainties’ such as economic, education, health, jobs, etc. in the country, guys, keep going! And you will definitely find a ray of ‘hope’.

    Dreams becoming reality! Years ago, the people of Tangrain dreamt ‘Tangrain and together with nearby mandlies (village churches)’ as an independent parish to cater to the needs of the local faithful; and that was fulfilled on 03 December 2010 with the establishment of a new Tangrain parish (carved from Hamirpur Parish) under Rourkela Diocese and the parish was handed over to the Jesuits of Jamshedpur province. In fact, it was a ghar wapsi of Jesuits as some people in Tangrain would say, as Jesuits left Gangpur Mission in the late 1940s entrusting the mission to SVDs. Since the establishment of the Tangrain Parish, the people of Tangrain have witnessed the services of the Jesuits.      Exactly after a decade, Tangrain mission achieved another milestone on 3 December 2020 as they inaugurated the new school building with three stories (thirty classrooms). With this, the Jesuits of Jamshedpur made another dream of Tangrain people–a reality. As Rev. Bishop Kisho...

Saturday, March 27, 2021 , we had '1 Day Recollection' for our parish youth. The recollection focussed on 'growing in an intimate relationship with God.' The whole program was organized and managed by the Core Committee of our parish youth, guided by Fr. Amit Lakra S.J. It was a thrilling experience to see so many young boys and girls coming for the recollection. The Sacrament of Reconciliation was arranged and practically, all of them received the Sacrament. Some of them expressed their joy of having received the golden opportunity of receiving the Sacrament after the Corona Lockdown. All the more it was a spiritual preparation for them before Easter.  Fr. Ranjit Roshan Minj S.J. , from Chaibasa was the guide for the recollection. He was in the high spirit to see the big number of youth attending the program. He talked and preached to them using videos and images which were liked by the participants. Thanks to Fr. Ranjit, the Core Committee, and all those attendees. Wi...
