KOTA PADAWAN -
About 35
voluntary religion teachers, youths of the Parish Youth
Movement (PYM) and representatives from the various
kampungs in St Ann’s Parish gathered from 12-13 July
at the Catholic Memorial and Pilgrimage Centre (CMPC) at
Mt Singai for a recollection.
The recollection was organised by the Parish
Catechetical Committee mainly for voluntary religion
teachers and aspirant religion teachers.
During the two-day recollection the participants
listened to talks given by Bro Jivan OFM. There were
also sessions for Bible study and a workshop and
sharings given by some religion teachers.
Bro Jivan told the participants that the recollection
was a pause from field work that afforded time to look
deeper into their roles as religion teachers and into
themselves in the light of passages from the Bible. He
also said the apostolate of the religion teacher was a
calling.
The programme for the recollection included time for
prayer, Confession, reflection and fellowship with
fellow participants in a pleasant and peaceful
environment.
The participants
were accompanied by Friar Arul OFM, their Parish Priest.
The recollection concluded with a Mass held at the CMPC
Chapel, concelebrated by Friar Arul OFM and Fr Joseph
Chai of St Stephen’s Parish, Bau.
