Fr. Bernard Joseph (Salem Diocese) guided reflections on Jubilee and Synodality. Scholastics Arokia Anand, David Francis, Jenith Xavier, and Lazar John presented the document Gaudiumet Spes. The group then drafted action plans for their communities, aimed at deepening their Ignatian roots and living in solidarity with those on the margins.

The event also featured talent showcases ($LNthk; nfhz;lhLNthk;), the Ignatian Retreat guided by Fr. Vino Selukas, and a concluding trip to Black Thunder Theme Park, celebrating Jesuit companionship with joy and renewed commitment.
