Glimpses of Events Organised by the Crusaders – February 2024

GLIMPSES OF EVENTS ORGANISED BY THE CRUSADERS

MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2024

Conclave for Leadership of the Boys Cell of the ACJM

The ACJM constantly seeks to bring in youth and train them to become future leaders of the organisation. The Boys Cell and the Girls Cell of the ACJM are ministries where young cadres undergo regular spiritual formation through cell meetings and conclaves. Many of those in the leadership of the ACJM today have emerged from these two ministries. The conclaves also help these youth to build their lives based on Biblical principles. A great number of those who have grown spiritually through such conclaves stand as living testimonies of how reliable the Word of God is. Recenlty, a conclave was organised for the leadership of the Boys Cell of the ACJM in North Goa on the 9th and 10th of February 2024.

Joint Offline Prayer Meeting of the Konkani Ministry of the ACJM

The Konkani Ministry of the ACJM consists of members meeting together for regular prayer meetings both online and offline. The online meetings are held regularly over Zoom app on Mondays. As far as the offline meetings are concerned, those living in Vasco and surrounding areas meet together every Sunday inside a small chapel located in a place called Karewadda. Also, joint offline prayer meetings are held regularly once in 45 days where members from all over Goa get an opportunity to bond together as one whole spiritual family.  One such joint prayer meeting was held on 18th February at Pallotti Home, Chicalim.

Way of the Cross by Girls Cell of the ACJM

The Girls Cell members of the ACJM from Vasco, North Goa and South Goa gathered together at Pilar Monastery for a private Way of the Cross on 18th February 2024. The Lenten spiritual exercise also served as an opportunity for the girls coming from different parts of Goa to bond together.
