Tobago catechists sip and paint

Catechists of St Joseph’s, Scarborough held their annual retreat September 20–22 at Duncan’s Sea View in Bacolet.

The retreat theme this year was The Good News according to Mark. It was truly a great learning experience for all of us as we delved deeply into the gospel to explore the four sub-themes for our various presentations:

  1. Background and overview of the gospel
  2. Jesus is human
  3. Jesus is divine
  4. Jesus is the Suffering Servant

As usual, the presentations were very creative and thoroughly enjoyable. For most of us, the Sip and Paint was our first such experience, and several persons testified that they were deeply moved as they reflected on Jesus’ sufferings with the aid of their brush strokes.

This exercise was indeed a fitting climax to a wonderful Spirit-filled weekend. All praise and thanks to God for His superabundant blessings!
