20 Girls Attend a Day Formation.

Twenty (20) young girls were involved in the Come and See program for girls from Christ the King and St. Dominic parishes. They participated successfully in a formation program that began on May 20th.

    

Two Dominican sisters, namely Srs. Leonie and Clausina Pitamama were in charge of the program, and reporting from St. Dominic Sirovanga parish, Chris said that the program was enhanced by these sisters, who encouraged these young girls to integrate various spiritual practices such as contemplative prayer, meditation, and silence.

    

He said that a similar program for boys is planned for June. He continued by saying that the formation program's target audience is for other parishes in Choiseul Province.
