DIVYADAAN

Divyadaan, which is primarily at the service of the Salesian Congregation and the Church in India, has as its scope:

1. The philosophical formation, with a special focus on the Indian context, of candidates to the Catholic ministerial priesthood (Salesian, Other Religious, Diocesan) and of the laity (Christian as well as persons belonging to other faiths);

2. The formation of specialists in Systematic Philosophy, Education, and Social Communication. The Institute aims at the elaboration of a pluridisciplinary but integrated curriculum of studies, in which philosophy plays a vital role in bringing together faith and life, faith and culture. This is done through serious dialogue with Indian thought and socio-economic realities (in particular of youth) and with the sciences of education and communication.

The Community of Divyadaan inaugurated their Marian Month, a month in honour of our Blessed Mother on July 16 on the auspicious day of the feast of our Lady of Mount Carmel.

It was a grace filled evening where the community gathered together under the mantle of our Lady to express their shared and individual love and devotion for Her. The evening began with a short prayer and the proceedings followed. A special anthem had been composed by the brothers for the occasion only to bring to the fore their deep love and affection for Her.
