INDIA: vocation promotion in Meghalaya

 

From 24 February to 8 March, Brothers Paul Raj and Roberto Cabello have been doing vocation promotion in the dioceses of Jowai and Nonsgtoin which belong to the state of Meghalaya. The name of this state means “the abode of the clouds” and it has a mountainous terrain. The majority of the population is Christian, either Catholic or of other denominations.

During these 13 days of travelling through this land dotted with hills, we were able to present our vocation in 12 secondary schools, even though in several places it was difficult because they were either preparing for exams or were on holiday. 138 young people showed interest in being in contact with us to discern their vocation as Brothers of the Holy Family. We were able to visit 35 families of these candidates. We are very grateful for the welcome and help they have given us and for the kindness with which they have treated us. These are seeds of the Sa-Fa charism which we hope will bear fruit in due time.
