Enriching the Youth: A Psycho-Spiritual Seminar at Infant Jesus Church, Gorwa-Vadodara
On 11th August 2024, the Infant Jesus Church in Gorwa-Vadodara hosted a transformative "Psycho-Spiritual Seminar" aimed at the youth of the community. With over 70 enthusiastic participants, the seminar offered a refreshing and enriching experience for all who attended.
The primary focus of the seminar was to promote a healthy and balanced integration of body, mind, and soul, with Jesus Christ as the perfect model. The discussions addressed the pressing challenges faced by today’s youth, particularly the widespread issue of addiction to various vices. Rev. Frs. Macson Dabre and Jovel Oliver, the speakers, offered practical advice, introducing the concept of the "21-Day Cycle"—a method designed to help individuals overcome personal limitations. However, they emphasized that for Christians, this cycle alone is insufficient and must be coupled with a strong foundation in prayer.
A key component of the seminar was the group discussions, which were both thought-provoking and reflective, allowing the youth to engage deeply with the material. The event concluded with the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, presided over and preached by Fr. Jitu D'Monte SJ, followed by the distribution of small tokens of appreciation to the participants.
The seminar not only provided valuable insights but also fostered a sense of community and spiritual growth among the youth, leaving a lasting impact on all who took part.
