Lent Retreat held at Irendellaiparai Parish, Dindigul
An effort was made by arranging the Lenten Retreats to prepare hearts and minds of parishners which was organized on 22nd and 23rd March 2025 at Irendellaiparai Parish and Muthamiz Nagar Substation.
The retreat at Irendellaiparai spanned two days and was led by Fr. Panner Salvam CMF. His teachings centered on the theme of the “Conversion of Mind and Heart,” emphasizing Jesus as the merciful Father who welcomes His children into His paradise upon repentance. Through powerful sermons and reflections, He inspired the congregation to embrace God’s boundless mercy and seek spiritual renewal.
At Muthamiz Nagar, a one-day retreat was conducted by Fr. Louise Arokia Doss OCD. He shared insights on the theme “God is the Merciful Father,” leading the faithful in prayer, worship, and deep scriptural reflections. Drawing from both personal experiences and biblical teachings, he guided the congregation toward a greater understanding of God’s compassion and forgiveness.
Both retreats witnessed active participation from the parishioners, who engaged with deep devotion and unwavering faith. These spiritual gatherings provided an enriching opportunity for the community to prepare meaningfully for Easter, fostering a renewed commitment to their faith and spiritual journey.
