Announcements for 23rd October 2022

  1. We’re nearing the end of October, (the month of the Rosary) and All Souls’ Day is around the corner. From previous years’ experiences, our volunteers and staff get overwhelmed by the number of Mass intentions which they have to manually enter in exactly on the eve of that day. To prevent that from happening this year, if you plan to send in a Mass intention for All Souls’ Day, kindly send it to us, latest, by 31st October.
  2. Nava Spoorthi Kendra (NSK), the Redemptorist retreat centre at Richards Town, Bangalore, is hosting an in-person course by Know Your Faith Ministry called “A Quick Journey Through the Bible” For 8 Saturdays in a row, starting from 5th November between 2.30 and 5.30 pm, registered participants will receive an excellent introduction and overview of the Sacred Scriptures from a catholic perspective. There is a registration fee of Rs 1,500/- Once you register, you will get a student workbook, a Bible timeline chart, and a bookmark. The course is interactive, including the use of audio-visual aids, group dynamics, Q&A sessions, fellowship and more.

  6. Sometimes, we hear the young and not-so-young complain in these or similar words: “Why Is The Church So Boring?” RMC has started a brand new youth faith podcast to deal with such topics of interest to the youth. It’s called – HEART ROCK CAFE – It is a show where we have Heartfelt conversations, based on the solid Rock of faith over a cup of Coffee. So don’t forget to catch up with this first episode of Heart Rock Cafe our new programme on YouTube and all your audio podcast platforms and share it with others.
