ACIT Pune 10 years Celebration, Launch of the TA Youth
ACIT India completed 10 years of their commitment in May 2009 and the three sub groups i.e. Mumbai, Honnavar and Pune are celebrating these years of commitment at different moments in the year. The ACIT in Pune celebrated this festive occasion on the 31st of October.
The evening began with the ACIT having a private prayer in the chapel, expressing their gratitude to the One who gave them the call and the grace to be faithful to it. Later, Savitha Pais welcomed all present. Reeves Rodrigues portrayed through a power point presentation the genesis, growth and important events of the ACIT sub group in Pune.
Savitha, Veera, Philo, Veronica and Reeves stepped forward to share what their commitment means to them and how it has impacted their lives. Being an ACIT, on one hand has influenced personal and professional lives and on the other stimulated spiritual and intellectual advance.
Bookmarks to remember the celebration were given out and each one read aloud Father Poveda’s quotes on them.
Everyone then celebrated the Eucharist, in a spirit of humility and thanksgiving. Fr. Simon Almeida who has been close to the TA for a long time was the main celebrant and Fr. Willie Fernandes concelebrated. After the homily, the ACIT made a meaningful prayer of recommitment.
The TA Youth core team comprising of Dennis, Hazel, Desmond, Cheryl and Lynn, was also joyfully commissioned right after Holy Communion. This was a historic moment for the Association in India that has worked closely with young people.
All present then joined in for a special meal that brought the evening to an end.
