In celebration of the Jubilee Year, the Archdiocese of Imphal, northeast India, organized a two-day spiritual camp for the youth and children of St. Thomas Parish.
The event was held from February 15 to 16 at St. Thomas Church, Singngat, in Manipur.
The program saw the enthusiastic participation of over 170 children and youth, seeking to deepen their spiritual connection.
A dedicated team from the Archdiocese, including Fr. Paul Ngaoni, assistant parish priest of St. Joseph’s Cathedral in Imphal and Basic Ecclesial Community director; Sr. Blessy of Congregation of the Mother of Carmel and Fr. Denis, assistant procurator, guided the participants throughout the event, providing spiritual enrichment.
The first day commenced with Sr. Blessy leading an opening session filled with prayer and interactive activities, including teaching songs and spiritual items that captivated the participants.
The second day began with a solemn Eucharist led by Fr. Ngaoni, who shared his insights on the importance of spiritual growth.
He taught the children the art of maintaining silence for meditation and engaged them in heartfelt praise and worship.
The afternoon session transformed into a lively praise and worship experience led by Sr. Blessy, who emphasized the significance of Bible reading, prayer, and the joy of singing hymns from a young age.
A competition was organized, dividing participants into four groups to compete in categories like discipline, prayer, Bible reading, and song, with delightful prizes awarded to the winners.
The camp concluded with a gesture of gratitude from Fr. Mung, parish priest of St. Thomas Singngat, who presented Zou mufflers to each resource person as a token of appreciation.
The spiritual camp proved to be a transformative experience for all participants, especially for internally displaced persons (IDPs) amidst the ongoing crisis in Manipur, offering them hope and solace.
