A Dialogue with Children on Vocation and Christian Life

A Dialogue with Children on Vocation and Christian Life was held at St. Raphael Church, Badyar, on 27 September 2026, as part of the Patron’s Feast celebrations.

The session was conducted by Rev. Fr. Antony Clany D’Souza, Director of the Vocation Centre, Diocese of Mangalore. Through an interactive and inspiring dialogue, he encouraged the children to understand the meaning of vocation and to recognize God’s call in their lives.

The children were guided to see Christian life as a journey of faith, prayer, love, service and commitment. The session also helped them reflect on different vocations in the Church and the importance of listening to God’s voice.

The programme was meaningful and engaging, with the children actively participating in the interaction. It was a valuable opportunity to nurture their faith and encourage them to live their Christian vocation with joy and dedication.

This program was organised by commission for vocation and education. Mr Manish Sequiera welcomed all. Parish priest Fr Roshan Crasta proposed vote of thanks.
