The St. Joseph’s zone comprises about sixty families. The core group members (animators) recently organised a mass in the first week of Easter. It was celebrated by our priest-in-charge, Fr. Benji.
Some members took the initiative to hold a weekly bible study with Fr. Benji. This was done with an aim to get a better understanding of the scriptures. It has truly deepened the lives of those who have participated in the programme.
We also wanted to raise community spirit amongst the youth of our zone. So, the animators brought all the eleventh and twelfth standard students together to wish them luck on the eve of their exams. A special card was given to each one of them and an assurance of our prayers for their success. Every one of them was very grateful and truly touched by this gesture.
The core group decided to wish one of the house bound members on her birthday, which happened to coincide with Easter Sunday. It really instilled a deeper sense of togetherness and belonging.
Currently, we are brainstorming on different activities that will help to bring the community together in order to experience God’s love in and through each other. Suggestions are most welcome. Any takers?
