Snapshots from India

Mary Gorski, communications director for the U.S. Province, and Fr. Heru Ismadi, secretary general, had a whirlwind tour of the District of India after several days of workshops at Dehon Vidya Sadhan, Aluva in the SCJs' Indian District. Fr. Heru and Mary teamed up to do presentations on communications (including website development, use of social media and writing skills) and on the nuts and bolts of running an administrative office in the congregation. Included in this album are just a few of the hundreds of photos taken during the visit. Stories about the SCJs and their ministries in India will be posted on the province website in the next few weeks.
