View actual sizeThe programme was set rolling by an inaugural ceremony in the auditorium at 6:00 pm. From day one onwards the seriousness and importance of the course was given great emphasis and so the participants got into the course with utter diligence. The accommodation was fantastic.

The first week was packed with sessions and activities. The second week was a week dedicated to group therapy. The participants were divided into 4 groups and 4 experts in the field of Psychology and Counselling animated the groups with laudable competence.  In the last week of the course there was a directed retreat with the help of Spiritual directors.

In spite of the heavy schedule, moments of fun and enjoyment were not lacking. Organised trips to Mysore and Bangalore city, weekly family get-togethers and screening of well- chosen movies based on the theme of the day are but to name a few. At the end of the programme some of the participants have this to say: ``It is a unique experience and the entire course left no stone unturned when it comes to the discernment of religious vocation.
