First Anniversary of Pope Francis Herbal Garden

The First Anniversary of Pope Francis Herbal Garden was celebrated today with a meaningful liturgy in the morning and a devotional prayer service in the evening. There was a candle light procession carrying the statue of Our Lady from Theos Basket ball court to the Herbal garden. In the garden we had rosary as we also celebrate the feast of Immaculate Conception Today. We fondly remember and thank all those people who toiled in making this garden a reality.

Nature Walk

Around 50 heads and staff of various Jesuit Institutions were gathered for an IPP programme in PG Block at JDV, Pune. DNC Tarumitra was invited to present and share various Eco initiatives taken in the campus to promote Ecological Sensitivity with the group. The Group was also taken for a Nature walk in DNC campus explaining some eco works like Herbal Garden, Oganic Farming, Vermicomposting, Waste Water Treatment and Rain Water Harvesting. The Group was filled with awe and wonder when they were taken into DNC Jungle and allowed to interact with the trees. Some even had spiritual and transformative experience.

Nature Walk for the Catechism Students

Catechism Students from St Patrick's Cathedral, Pune came to our DNC Campus and they were taken for a nature walk in our campus. Various Ecological initiatives that we follow in our campus were demonstrated and showed to them. They were moved and deeply enlightened. The theme was "Finding God in all Things." They learned to respect Mother Earth and to appreciate God's Creation. It was practical and concrete experience. Some of them even had emotional and transforming experiences.
