‘IGNITE’ – 2015: A Special Youth Convention at DCC
“Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs†(Lk. 18:16). A four day summer special retreat was organised at Divine Call Centre, Mulki, Mangalore for the children from 4th standard to 9th standard from April 15th to 18th 2015. More than four hundred children attended this special retreat. All the children were divided into various twelve groups. Some of the highlights of this summer special retreat are – there were teachings on the Word of God, Praise and Worship, inner healing, anointing of the Holy Spirit, confessions, adorations, Holy Eucharist, full of action songs, various activities like Group activities, Bible quiz, and some religious movies and so on. All the children who attended the retreat were very happy and their faces were radiating with joy. There were children from various parishes from both Mangalore and Udupi dioceses. Some of the parishes took lots of efforts to send the children even by arranging special vehicle for them. We are really grateful to all the parishes and parish priests who encouraged the children to attend such a retreat and made timely announcements in their parishes. DCC also thanks all the volunteers and all other people who contributed generously towards the success of this retreat in their own way. Very specially we are grateful to all those who contributed generously towards the expenses of this special retreat. We pray for God’s abundant blessings upon them all.
