SEMINARY DAY 2012
Celebrations unlimited! This was the feeling of each seminarian at Good Shepherd Seminary on the 17th of March. The long awaited day of the year had finally appeared. It was a day set aside to display our talents, creativity, confidence and seminary spirit. It was a day reserved to celebrate our vocation. Though it was Lenten time, there was a mood of celebration, a great surge of joy within all of us. It is just because we value our vocation whole heartedly.
A month long planning, round the clock practice and the meticulous arrangements contributed immensely to the success of the day. The day commenced with the Eucharistic Celebration, celebrated by Bishop Thomas Macwan. Bishop Thomas' homily helped us to focus our vocation to the priesthood. he highlighted that the fundamental element of the priesthood is to be in communion with Christ. The formation period in the seminary undoubtedly is a great help to each seminarian in this line. He made a clarion call to each one of us to have a dream, dream to be a good priest.
The cultural programme of the evening was the showcase of the entire celebration. Our Bishop Godfrey de Rozario, the patron of the seminary presided over the programme. The programme was fully loaded with dances, music, short skits and declamation competition. The Romantic begger (Skit) aroused romantic feelings, the 'AXE Effect' (Skit) not only brought the audience but even the angels down, the energetic Punjabi Lenten dance did some balle...balle... and the Kolaveri dance blew the roof off. The surprising thing was teh 'Declamation Competition' did not hinder the spirit of the cultural programme. Each seminarian performed brilliantly bringing back those sweet memories of our vibrant leaders of our country. Finally the three speakers Bros. Pradeep, Augustine and Joseph were declared winners. It was indeed a success. Bishop Godfrey in his address appreciated the seminarians for this quality show. It has really boosted our spirit and we are indeed glad to be seminarians.
Bro. Pradeep (Seminarian)
