them, at Arunoday on March 9, 2008. Fr Joseph Toppo, SJ, prefect of the Secondary section of St Lawrence’s School, Kolkata, directed them through the day-long recollection. About seventeen co-workers from eight houses participated in the programme. More were expected, but some could not turn up because of some urgent needs. Fr Joseph guided the group through talks peppered with hymns and bhajans. A sumptuous lunch was served, prepared by Sch Roshan and the pre-novices (since our cook also was attending the recollection). In the afternoon there was a reconciliation service which was followed by the Eucharist. The recollection was concluded with tea at 4.00 P.M.
Mr Genebas Kujur, gardener of Arunoday, expressed thanks to Fr Joseph and Arunoday community for organising the recollection. Joy was written on the faces of all them. It was a great day. Let us hope that this initiative goes a long way.
