VICTORY
RETREAT
Victory

It ensures and instils better confidence in them to face their first public
examination with
courage, pleasure and hope. It is painfully observed that a lot of suicidal
attempts are reported, especially in Kerala among SSLC students. After exam, The students are given the confidence that Jesus the greatest teacher is with them during the exam. It also help them to keep good manners and systematic study and preparation for exams, to respect their parents, teachers and elders thus growing dear to God and people.
FAMILY RETREAT
Every family resembles the Holy Family. In such a way, all of us are
required to lead a pleasing life to each other to fulfill the desire and motto
of our Saviour
Christ. For this, better understanding and warm relationship among the family
members are essential.
In order to boost the role and responsibility of each
member of a family, be it the father or the son,
a common forum would be a
desideratum, which can provide enough opportunities to share and hear the
sorrows, stress and opinions of all members of the family. Moreover, this
would help to abridge the gap between parent-child, husband-wife relationships,
if any. This is the motive behind family retreat. Mr. Santhosh Thomas is the chief programme co-ordinator of Christeen family retreat.
