Archdiocesan Youth Training Programme for the
candidates who applied for Clerical officers, Deputy Section Officers, Deputy
Block Officers in Gujarat State was held at Pethapur, Gandhinagar from 26th
to 28th August 2016. His Grace Archbishop Thomas Macwan inaugurated
the training programme with lighting of the lamp, prayer and with his discourse
along with Priests from Pethapur and Rajulbhai Azad. Mr. Nirmal Vorha dealt
with Public Administration, Mr. Bhavin Parmar dealt with the history of the
Constitution of India and history of Gujarat and India and General Knowledge, Mr.
Kailashbhai dealt with Maths and Reasoning and Mr. Rajul Azad dealt with
Gujarati language. Mr. Victor Mecwan, IAS who is the Joint Secretary of Revenue
in Gujarat State and who encourages such programmes came over and encouraged the
Youth with his life example and made the participants to focus on life with
SWOT analysis. Ms. Rosily Victor, who is always willing to encourage our Youth
conducted a group dynamic session which made the participants energetic. There
were 26 Catholic Youth from Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad dioceses. Fr. Xavier
James celebrated the Holy Eucharist both days in which all the Youth
participated devotedly. We are grateful to His Grace Archbishop Thomas, all the
fathers of Pethapur and Rajulbhai Azad who have helped directly for such
programme. We are glad to note a success story that one
candidate who participated last year's Talati programme is now Talati (Village
Officer). (Xavier James)

Independence Day celebration
On 15th August 2016, the parents, students, staff
with other guests gathered in front of the School building at Umru-Siddhpur to
hoist and salute our National flag and sing the National anthem on the
auspicious day of the Independence of our beloved country India. Fr. Xavier
James hoisted the flag and then all proceeded to the programme hall for stage
programmes. The children wore the costumes of different freedom fighters and
leaders. They also spelled out slogans of the particular leader. The kids sang
songs which amused everyone present. Jayeshbhai and Nareshbhai who are the
well-wishers from Palanpur came to grace the occasions with their dignified
presence. They also gave out gifts and token of appreciation to the kids. The
parents were so glad and overwhelmed to see their children on the stage for the
first time and performing different activities in an innovative manner. After
the refreshments all left for their homes with a happy mood. Hats off to the
teachers Ms. Jameela and Ms. Priya. (15/08/2016)
