BIS #1486 YOUTH PASCHERS REFRESHER COURSE

UTTAN, AUGUST 12, 2009:
One of the suggestions of the Youth Paschers in the reunion in July was to have a refresher course. To this effect 19 Youth Paschers (14 working boys and 5 working girls) attended the Youth Paschers Refresher Course at Boscowadi, Uttan from August 8-9, 2009.
The area surrounding the legendry Tulus Wadi at this point of time is not a pleasant sight; the huge high tides on July 24 brought in huge amounts of plastic. Boscowadi though, is well kept by the caretakers and is a pleasant sight to see. To add to this – the day was blessed with beautiful weather!

The evening began with a game of football followed by a swim. The evening was enlightened by a challenging session by Fr. Glenford Lowe “At Sea with God” which touched some of them deeply. After dinner, a round of introductions followed by a session of Singing with everyone contributing their share of songs.

Fr. Godfrey D’Sa joined the gang on the morning of August 9. He took a session which highlighted a case study on difficult choices to be made in life. The session elicited much discussion and sharing and was well appreciated.

The last session was a planning session for the year ahead. It began with sharing on the activities which bind the Youth Paschers together and the direction they need to move in this year. A core committee of 6 was appointed to animate the group along with Frs. Glen & Brian.
