We had 2 good celebrations to mark 10 years of the ACIT India commitment in India. The first was a spiritual renewal which was on the 30th and the second was a family day with other families participating as well on the 6th of Dec 09.
On the 30th of November the ACIT renewed their committments. 18 of them were present. Our Parish Priest Fr Francis Fernandes from St Pedro Poveda parish came to say the Mass. He gave a good homily connecting the call of St Andrew and gave a reflection and words of challenge on the Gospel text of 'salt of the earth.'
After the Mass we celebrated by cutting the cake and a dinner together. We were happy that Amit who had been away for 3 years could come for the renewal of his commitment.
On the 6th December we celebrated Family day with a talk on the role of the parents and the responsibility of the children given by Fr Rudolf Raj Pinto (OCD) apart from the ACIT members there were other couples who came for this session. We began with the prayer which was led by Fredaline. Then Lifard welcomed Fr Rudolf and the others. Fr. Rudolf shared his experience on the family. After the talk we had a break for some snacks and then a powerpoint presentation on 10 years of ACIT India specially in Honavar presented by Elizabeth.
Benjamin gave the vote of thanks and we ended the program with the song of Poveda.
We were about 35 people. We had Ines and Rozemarign (from Brussels) with us for this program.
