The retreat is being preached by <strong>Rev. Fr. Thadeus Kujur, SDB<\/strong>, who brings with him a rich spiritual experience, inspiring reflections, and the Word of God to guide the young pre-novices in their journey of faith and vocational discernment. Through prayer, reflection, praise and worship, and spiritual conferences, the retreat aims to deepen the participants&#8217; relationship with the Lord and strengthen their commitment to their Salesian vocation.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Welcoming the retreat preacher, Rev. Fr. Mackley Augustine Gomes, SDB, Director of the Pre-Novitiate House, expressed his gratitude to Fr. Kujur for accepting the invitation to animate the retreat. He encouraged the pre-novices to make the most of these grace-filled days by spending quality time with the Lord, listening attentively to His Word, and opening their hearts to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The retreat provides a valuable opportunity for the pre-novices to step away from their regular routine and immerse themselves in prayer, silence, and spiritual renewal. It is expected to help them grow in their understanding of God&#8217;s call and prepare them for the next stages of their formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The First Annual Charismatic Retreat will conclude on the morning of 12 June 2026, leaving the participants spiritually enriched and renewed in their vocation journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0-6-1024x461.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0-6-1024x461.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0-6-300x135.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0-6-768x346.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0-6-1536x691.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0-6.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1-25-1024x461.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1-25-1024x461.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1-25-300x135.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1-25-768x346.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1-25-1536x691.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1-25.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"458\" src=\"https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2-21-1024x458.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2-21-1024x458.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2-21-300x134.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2-21-768x344.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2-21.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"458\" src=\"https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3-19-1024x458.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3-19-1024x458.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3-19-300x134.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3-19-768x344.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3-19.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"458\" src=\"https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4-20-1024x458.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4-20-1024x458.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4-20-300x134.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4-20-768x344.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4-20.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"458\" src=\"https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/5-18-1024x458.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/5-18-1024x458.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/5-18-300x134.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/5-18-768x344.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/donboscoguwahati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/5-18.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The twenty-two pre-novices of the Province are attending their three-day First Annual Spiritual Retreat (Charismatic Retreat), which commenced on the evening of 8 June 2026.
