Lenten Retreat 2026

The Lenten Retreat at St. Raphael Church, Badyar concluded successfully with the participation of around 200–300 faithful on Feb 20, 21 and 22. The three-day retreat offered parishioners a meaningful opportunity for prayer, reflection, and spiritual renewal during the Lenten season.

The retreat was preached by Rev. Fr. Rovel Dsouza OCD, who shared inspiring reflections on repentance, forgiveness, and strengthening one’s faith in Christ. The faithful actively participated in Holy Mass, Adoration, prayer services, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation, making the retreat a spiritually enriching experience.

The parish community expressed gratitude to Fr. Rovel Dsouza and his team, the organizers, and volunteers who helped make the retreat a grace-filled event for the parish.
