BIS #2411 INTER-NOVITIATE ORIENTATION PROGRAMME

Savio D’souza sdb

PUNE, JUNE 27, 2011: The Salesians of Don Bosco Youth Centre organized a three day ‘Inter-Novitiate Programme’ for the sister novices of twelve different congregations at Holy Angels Convent from June 20 to June 23, 2011. Seventy- seven novices participated in the programme. The three days were packed with sessions on self-discovery, building relationships, anger management, leadership skills and influence of Mass media. A team of Salesian clerics animated the various sessions in a creative Salesian style. All the sessions were complemented with ice breakers and interesting games.

The novices were enthused and participated actively. On the final day the novices staged skits based on the various sessions they had attended during the past three days. It was an opportunity for the novices to inter-mingle with each other which perhaps was an enriching experience.
