Dear Fr. Ratna Greetings from Ireland! Hope you are fine. It is an very interesting experience to participate in the International Eucharistic Congress 2012. I was the only one from Srilanka to partake in the symposium on the theme Eucharist: Communion with God and Communion with one another. There were workshops, seminars and group discussions on this main theme of the Congress. Now the Congress is on and it will come to an end on the 17 th of June with the grand closing ceremony with the Eucharistic celebration presided over by Holy Father’s Delegate. It was a great experience for me to partake in this congress as I met lot of people from different countries who share different shades of opinions on Faith and culture. The programmes of Congress too were helpful for personal renewal as well. It really was an occasion to go back to my roots of my faith in the Eucharist. Hope to return to srilanka next week and I hope to preach for the July feast at Madhu. With best wishes Congratulations for the Oblate website! keep kicking God |Bless you Oblately |yours stany Antony omi Ireland
