General Councillor Rev. Fr.Ivo Coelho's short visit

On 3rd August we were very happy to have Fr.Ivo Coelho S.D.B ( General Councillor of Formation Sector). for a short visit to our novitiate. He was accompanied by Fr.Robert Pen the rector of Divyadan in the afternoon. We the novices sang hymns and song in different language and made him feel at home with us.At 6.30 p.m once again he came to give a talk and share some experience with the novices. This is to be admired by all of us, a Councillor General sitting down on the floor for nearly 45 minutes with the novices.

This is what all of experience after he spoke to us - a different experience where we first share our feelings and thought on formation and then he was able to guide us and inspire us.We thank God for such a wonderful person gifted to our Salesian family. We ask God to be with him and accompany him in the mission entrusted to him of being the General Councillor for formation sector inorder to bring many more souls closer to God.

For the love of Mary

Inauguration of the Marian Month by Sr.Salome D'souza

At the foot of the cross, Mother Mary was given to be our mother. Our founder       St .John Bosco is one such individual, who had the joy and privilege of having Mother Mary as his teacher and guide, especially given to Him by Jesus at the age of nine in a dream. Don Bosco loved our lady all through his life, tried to spread the devotion among people and his boy’s in the oratory by keeping up all Marian Feasts and Marian Month.On 18^th July we sisters and Novices of Sacred Heart Training Centre began our Marian Month with fervor and joy to express our love for our Blessed Mother during this Marian Month. Ours is an institute that belongs entirely to Mary and each one of us are called to be living monuments of Mary Help Of Christians .We began by lighting of the lamp by SR.SALOME D’SOUZA as a sign of our pledge and willingness to enter into the spirit of this month, a salesian tradition the dedicates the entire month in honour of our Blessed Mother.We the community of SHTC desire to walk in the footsteps of our Blessed Mother thus making her qualities and dispositions our own. We pray that this month be a month full of enthusiasm, fervor and love for our heavenly mother and may she never tire of turning her merciful eyes upon us and make us worthy to contemplate the face of mercy of her son Jesus.
