Mangalore, Oct 9 : Every year during the October holidays, "Jeevan Jyothi" camps for the Catholic students of grade 10 have become a standard feature all over the Mangalore diocese. The camp of Pezar deanery students commenced on October 8, 2008 at the Rosa Mystica Convent, Kinnikambla. Nearly 150 students from 10 parishes in and around Bajpe and Suratkal took part in the camp that will go on till Saturday, October 11.
At the inaugural fuction presided over by Fr John Mendonca, Sr Sharon B S was the chief guest and many of the priests and sisters participated. The atmosphere was very joyful, as the young students are looking forward to three days of fun and learning, comradery and new friendships.
As usual, at the end of the three-day camp, they are sure to say, "sir, can we have some more days extra?".
