Title: A strong, value based family builds a God centred society.

Description: In discussion, we realised that children brought up with multiple family and faith influences grow up stronger and confident in their faith,choices and positive values even when in adulthood they are faced with societies that are secular and ungodly. So, strengthening family bonds and sharing the Ideal with children and the young should be the focus.

Reason: This will help us build ' patterns of light' on the crowd.

Title: Our Focus is on the New Generations

Description:

1.      Introduce youth to our movement

2.      Be a leaven when the youth are preparing something and offer our support to them

3.      Also this way the intergenerational gap which we are observing, will reduce. There is a big gap between the youth and the volunteers.

4.      The Volunteers must work on organizing programs to involve youth at large

5.      Volunteers to coordinate and support youth activities and work towards getting more youth involved

Reason: There seems to be a decline in the members of the movement, whether children, youth, volunteers, and therefore for the branch of the Volunteers to grow, we need to work on the new generations - encouraging youth and children through our parishes, etc to share about the Charism and introduce them to the Movement. The volunteers can support through their own parish youth, to introduce them. To also organize some program for the catechism children in our parishes – in the parishes of the volunteers to start with.

1.      To have an Eco-Spirituality Retreat – where we speak about Laudato Si and Laudato Deum, bring awareness about what is happening around the world with regards to the mother earth,

Reason:

There was a call by Pope Francis to listen to “the cry of the earth” and “the cry of the poor”.

With so much of destruction taking place in Goa, we need to stand up with one voice to listen to the cry of the earth. Do our little part personally, and in society

Title: Respond to Jesus Forsaken in the Lonely, sick, deprived and the elderly

Description: 1.      With the call of late Pope Francis towards the ‘cry of the poor’, we felt we need to ponder and work towards this section of society, that is crying for our help.

2.      We can do that through visit to old age homes, spending time with them, making them live and think differently, giving them love

3.      Maybe focusing more on those in our neighbourhoods, visiting them, joining hands with others to make a difference, praying for them, calling them up regularly

4.      Visiting & calling even some of the sick members of the movement, even sometimes, there are volunteers who cannot come to the meetings, regular calls to them, regular contact with them is very important

5.      We can live this “cry to the poor” even by strengthening participation in our word of live meetings, and Mariapolis, offering all our help to spread the Ideal

Attend other lay movement programs when invited
