Meeting of the New College Teachers
The meeting was well attended .More than 120 newly appointed lecturers came for the meeting. All of them were given copies of the YOUCAT because of the generosity of Vince Marin of Chicago.
D.A.V. George, the VC of MG University inaugurated the Conference.Prof.Ruble Raj,Dr.Beena Manoj and Dr.Kuruvilla Joseph addressed the gathering.The intention of the meeting was to give them an orientation in their new role as Catholic teachers and enable them to integrate their Catholic faith with their teaching career.
The invitation letter and the Programme of the meeting are given below.
Dear Rev .Father/ Sister/Sir:
It was
suggested at the previous meetings of Principals and Mangers that it would be
highly beneficial to hold an orientation course for the newly appointed
teachers in our colleges in order to make them more deeply aware of their Catholic
heritage and of the role of the Church in education. Hence, it is proposed to
hold a one day Educational Conference for the newly appointed teachers on
May 9th at 10a.m. at Mount St. Thomas. Please be kind enough to send
at least five teachers who were appointed in the last couple of years for the
Conference.
A reply
card is attached herewith for the names to be sent to me or to the Curia at
Mount St. Thomas before April 15, 2013.
A copy
of the programme is also attached herewith.
Please
be kind enough to make this meeting a success by your active intervention so
that our first attempt in this area may turn out to be fruitful.
With regards,
Rev. George Madathiparampil
