Visit to The Convent of Jesus and Mary - Sangamner Mission School

Human values are fast deteriorating. Love, empathy, kindness etc are giving way to other priorities. In order to instill awareness and enrich values in our children, St. Joseph High School, Pashan, takes the  initiative to take students to visit missionary schools and orphanages every year. 

During one such drive the students and teachers of our school visited the Sangamner Mission School, on the 17^th of February 2018. 

Our main aim was to bring about an awareness in our students, and to reach out to the less privileged. We wanted our children to realize that they can be happy and content in any situation and that they should see how these children manage to cope with their lives and excel in their studies at the same time.

The first hand experience gave our students:

1. A ‘personal touch’ to their feelings. 
2. Built an intention to ‘WANT’ to reach out to the needy. 
3. A ‘Learning to share ‘, besides sponsoring some poor children to get a good education.

The first thing we noticed was the simplicity of their wants - i.e. The need for love.

Our children interacted with these children by listening to them, sharing their experiences, hearing hymns and songs prepared by them especially for us. Such talent! 

The students of St. Joseph High School Pashan, sang and danced for them and spent memorable moments together.

Later the children played games and then had a meal together too.

What our children learnt that day was that they should be grateful to their parents and thankful to God for all the things they are blessed with.

The inner strength in the face of adversity was something that served as a take away for our children.

Despite their condition, students thrive when given an opportunity.

Our children need ‘Something’ or ‘Someone’ to help them become achievers. 

A ‘Good Education’ is the ‘Something’ and ‘WE’ inculcating ‘Good Values’ are the ‘Someone’!

Empowerment of the girl child

Girls today need to be equipped with skills that will help them live in a society where girls and women are treated as second class citizens where women are forced to walk three steps behind a man. Even when attacked or raped they are subjected to unjust questionings and always the cause of the action of men. Girls are therefore trained in Martial Arts so as to face a world where women can defend themselves. And live as citizens on par with men.

Via Crucis - Stations of the Cross

preparado por JPIC de la UISG, año 2018

En la oración de este año queremos unirnos de manera especial a nuestros hermanos y hermanas que viven en condición de migrantes y refugiados. Reflexionaremos sobre sus historias en el espíritu del mensaje del Papa Francisco para la Jornada Mundial de la Paz, en el que nos invita a acoger, proteger, promover e integrar en nuestras comunidades a estos hermanos y hermanas que buscan la paz. En este vía crucis, Jesús recorre el camino doloroso de los migrantes y refugiados y nos guía con su paz. Por eso, también nosotros queremos conmemorar este camino en solidaridad con tantas personas que dejan sus hogares en busca de la tierra prometida, la tierra de leche y miel (Ex 3,8), que es el Reino de Dios que Jesús anuncia. En este vía crucis tenemos presentes a todas las comunidades y personas que están viviendo la ardua experiencia de la migración, y a todos los que trabajan con migrantes y refugiados. Rezamos por todos los que están tratando de construir un mundo mejor, un mundo sin fronteras, sin murallas, y por tantos hombres y mujeres que han abierto sus ojos y corazones a la dura realidad de este fenómeno y quieren involucrarse en su solución...

This year we want to journey in prayer, in a special way, with our sisters and brothers who are migrants and refugees. We will reflect on their life stories in the spirit of the message of Pope Francis for the World Day of Peace. Pope Francis invites us to welcome, to protect, to promote and integrate them in our communities because they are our brothers and sisters in search of peace. It is in this Way of the Cross, that Jesus himself is walking the sorrowful journey of the migrants and refugees and guiding us with his own peace. For that reason, we want to commemorate this journey in solidarity with those people who leave their homes in search of the promised land, the land of milk and honey (Ex 3:8) which is the reign of God that Jesus Himself announces. This Way of the Cross is intended for all those communities and people who are living in the difficult experience of migration, and for those who work with migrants and refugees. We hold in prayer all those who are trying to build a better world, a world without borders, without walls and those women and men who have opened their eyes and hearts to the harsh reality of this phenomenon and want to be challenged by it...

Quest’anno vogliamo fare questo viaggio di preghiera in modo speciale, insieme a quei nostri fratelli e sorelle che sono migranti e rifugiati. Rifletteremo sulle loro storie di vita nello spirito del messaggio per la Giornata Mondiale della Pace di Papa Francesco, che ci invita ad accoglierli, proteggerli, sostenerli e integrarli nelle nostre comunità, perché sono nostri fratelli e sorelle in cerca di pace. Nella Via Crucis, Gesù stesso percorre il cammino di dolore dei migranti e i rifugiati e ci guida verso la sua pace. Per questo, vogliamo commemorare questo cammino in solidarietà con coloro che sono costretti ad abbandonare le proprie case alla ricerca della terra promessa, verso un paese dove scorre latte e miele (Es. 3, 8), il regno di Dio che Gesù stesso è venuto ad annunciare. Questa Via Crucis è dedicata a tutte quelle persone e comunità che stanno passando attraverso la difficile esperienza della migrazione, e a coloro che lavorano con migranti e rifugiati. Sosteniamo con la nostra preghiera coloro che cercano di costruire un mondo migliore, un mondo senza confini, senza barriere, e tutte le donne e gli uomini che hanno aperto i propri occhi e il proprio cuore alla dura realtà di questo fenomeno e vogliono affrontarlo.
