Happy B'day FMMC Prayer Meeting

Three years back it was a dream come true when the Jesus Youth were called to start a prayer meeting in Father Mullers Medical College by Fr Frank Rodrigues.

How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news

The seeds of the Jesus Youth Movement in Mangalore were sown by the fulltimers, who in the initial stages had to even spend many nights in the railway station. This have changed now with so many Jesus Youth in this city, but one thing that has not changed is the zeal of the fulltimers who come here.

We welcome the new fulltimer to Mangalore, she is Sherine Stanley from Amedabad, who has finished her BA in Liturature and after 40 days of training in Kochi is here for one year, as part of her formation, we wish her a pleasent stay here.

Lets keep her and all the fulltimers around the world in our prayers.
