Discernment Camp

  • Posted on: 1 July 2015
A discernment camp was organized to bring together the youth of the Exarchate to inspire and inform them about the vocation to priesthood. The camp was conducted on June 26 to 28, 2015 at the Exarchate Center under the leadership of Bishop Thomas Mar Eusebius, Rev. Fr. Abraham Lukose, and Bro. Jerry Mathew. The highlight of the camp was the diaconate ordination which was held on the second day of the camp. The camp also included talks and videos on the vocation to priesthood, Holy Mass, adoration, and liturgical song practice. The talks were given by Bishop Thomas Mar Eusebius, Rt. Rev. Msgrs. Peter Kochery and Richard Figliozzi, Rev. Frs. Sathyan Antony, Saji Mukkoot, Sunny Mathew, and Michael Edathil. 36 boys from the Cathedral, New Rochelle, Washington, Toronto, Houston, Philadelphia, and Chicago parishes attended the camp. The organizers thank the families who provided a place to stay for the campers who came from out of state.
