Fr. Soosai Mani S.J also emphasized that to be an effective animator, one must make a concerted effort to deepen their spiritual growth, prioritize physical fitness among community members, and safeguard mental health.
The sessions were followed by prayer, group discussions, and sharing. Fr Soosai Mani S.J shared his personal experiences and provided practical guidelines on how to animate the community, making our consecrated life more joyful and meaningful.
The Power Point presentations from the sessions were shared with the Sisters, who will, in turn, present them to the members of their respective communities. Each community will then formulate concrete action plans based on these teachings.
