FATIMA RETREAT HOUSE

 

Dear Friends

Greetings from Fatima Retreat House, Mangalore

This is my first communication to you after assuming the responsibility as the Superior and Director of Fatima Retreat House, Mangalore.

Fatima Retreat House (FRH) is an island of peace and tranquility, right in the middle of a bustling and noisy city, like an oasis of life in the midst of a “desert of noise” as Tagore would put it. We are a group of 14 Jesuits, seniors, middle aged and young, at the service of people seeking silence, serenity and solitude in the midst of their busy schedule, hectic activity and life’s struggles.

3-day, 5-day, 8-day and 30-day Ignatian retreats, renewal courses, one-day recollection, a few hours of quiet prayer with spiritual direction and confession, the daily Divine Mercy devotion, Marian devotion at the Fatima Shrine, Eucharistic celebration, Adorations of the Blessed Sacrament, Penitential Services etc are some of ministries we conduct at FRH. Our Seniors are always available for confessions, either of groups or even of individuals, with a provision for extended spiritual direction conversations. Our Adoration Chapel is always open for those who wish to spend some quiet time with the Eucharistic Lord. Do come and drink from these life giving streams. We would like to think out of the box and take some creative and innovative apostolic initiatives to be better at the service of people, both catholics and others. For this we need you to help us with some original ideas and suggestions.

Having been involved in this ministry both in Bangalore and Mysore, I am launching out from FRH now, with increased vigour and enthusiasm, relying on your generous cooperation, counsel and companionship. Let us together, Jesuits and you, work hand in hand, to make FRH a real power house of spiritual strength, interior peace and a joyful hope for all.

With warm personal regards and in union of prayers

Yours in Christ
