'1 Day Recollection' for the youth of our parish

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.

Ranjit, the Core Committee, and all those attendees. Wi...
