Mawkyndeng, 06th November 2026: St. Dominic Higher Secondary School, Mawkyndeng, organized its One-Day Annual Retreat on 6th November 2026 at Immaculate Conception Church, Mawkyndeng. The retreat began at 9:00 a.m. and witnessed the participation of approximately 900 Catholic students from the school.
The theme of the retreat was “Jesus, My Friend.” The retreat was preached by Brother Quirinus Warkhyllew (Salesian Brother), who guided the students through meaningful reflections on the importance of having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Through his inspiring words and spiritual guidance, he encouraged the students to recognize Jesus not merely as their Lord and Saviour but also as a loving and faithful friend who accompanies them in every moment of their lives.
The programme provided the students with an opportunity to deepen their faith, renew their spiritual commitment and strengthen their relationship with God. A special moment of Eucharistic Adoration was organized, during which the students were given time for silent prayer, reflection and personal encounter with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
The retreat concluded with the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, presided over by Rev. Fr. Richard Louis Rapthap the principal. The Holy Mass served as the spiritual culmination of the entire retreat, bringing together the students in thanksgiving and prayer.
The One-Day Annual Retreat was a meaningful and grace-filled experience for the students. It helped them understand the love and friendship of Jesus and encouraged them to carry His presence into their daily lives.
