Online Retreat

For our Catholic staff and students, SJBHS held an Online Retreat on 29th August, 2020 from 9a.m. to 12 noon.
After five months of social distancing from their beloved school, the staff and students were nostalgic as they were welcomed, albeit virtually, into the beautifully decorated chapel, by the Principal Fr Sunil Fernandes SJ. A short, yet meaningful prayer by the Principal was a reminder of the manifold blessings that we enjoy and the requirement for a spiritual renewal in the days of the contagion.
Fr Vivian Juan Mariaraj, Assistant Parish Priest of Christ the King Church Malleshwaram, was the retreat director. He was ably assisted by Mr Mario Dunn and his team. The theme ‘Assurance’ brought to the fore the guarantee of deliverance from the pandemic, a confidence in the Almighty to bring about the restoration of health and a promise of liberation from the trying times. Prayers and supplications, benediction and invocations were the hallmark of the programme.
The Principal, the Primary School Administrator Fr Joel Fernandes SJ and Fr Vivian concelebrated the holy Mass bringing the retreat to its fruitful conclusion. It was a few hours of silence, reflection and prayer - a spiritual therapy for all.
