Indian Youth Group Holds a Spiritually Enriching Lenten Retreat at SVD Seminary

The annual Lenten Retreat for the Chotanagpur Youth Group was held at the SVD Seminary in Raia, Goa, on April 1, organized by Arnold Seva Kendra (ASK) in collaboration with the Chotanagpur Youth Group.
The retreat provided a spiritually enriching experience, beginning with an energizing praise and worship session led by Fr. Cranston Vaz, SVD, followed by uplifting animation songs conducted by Fr. Michael Pereira, SVD.
Two insightful sessions, titled "Life and Living for God" and "The Need to Return to God," were delivered by Fr. Anthony Soreng OP and Fr. Suman Indwar SFX, inspiring the youth to renew their faith and deepen their commitment to God.
A highlight of the retreat was the sacrament of Confession, offering participants God's mercy and forgiveness.
The youth also took part in the Way of the Cross on the mountain of the SVD Seminary, culminating in a moving Eucharistic celebration presided over by Fr. Anthony.
The retreat concluded with a special adoration session, followed by a joyful thanksgiving prayer and a final blessing from Fr. Pereira, encouraging the youth to carry the spirit of the retreat into their daily lives.
