Flirting With the Past: National Social Catechetical Training Centre, Jessore, Bangladesh (1980's)


_
It was February, 1983. I wrote a book in Bangla (Bengali) on Christian Religion for Christian (Catholic and Protestant) students of grades 9 and 10 in Bangladesh. It was a study aid book, called Christan Dharmashikkha Shahayika, dealing with the life and teaching of Jesus Christ, based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke.



Several years later, the Director of the National Social Catechetical Training Centre of Jessore (this centre trains catechists, religion teachers, and social leaders) invited me to give talks to a group of high school Christian Religion teachers who were being given special training on teaching religion. I was to let them know how to effectively use my book in teaching religion to their students.

That was the first time I was in the Centre. The facilities and administration of the Centre impressed me. I especially liked the Catholic religious artworks spread around in different buildings. During the course of my two-day stay there, I took photos of the Centre.

After all these years, I am sharing some of these photos with you.


The General Hall of the Centre is used for training
The beautiful garden is good for a time of prayer, meditation and silence

Administrative offices and trainees' living rooms
are housed in the Main Building

This Centre also publishes a bimonthly magazine, called Mongolbarta (Good News), that deals with the Bible and Catholic Church teachings on faith.

Mongolbarta (Good News) bimonthly
(Sept.-Oct, 2005) issue

Religious and spiritual book publishing, under the direction of Dhaka-based Father Silvano Garello, S.X., is also another important work of this Centre. So far, it has published more than 100 books and booklets. Two samples of these books are shown below:

Guido Conforti: Xaverian Shomprodayer Protishthata(Guido Conforti: Founder of the Xaverian Society)


Bangladesher Teen Bondhu (Three Friends of Bangladesh)
by Father G. Silvano (Silvano Garello, S.X.)

The Photo Meditation of the Month (September, 2010): DEFORMED BUT PERSISTENT


_

Deformed But Persistent

This cedar tree, when growing up as a plant, perhaps was damaged by strong wind or human action. It had to face its hostile surroundings. Although it had to struggle when growing up, it did not give up. It became crooked but it still continued its journey forward. Perhaps the owner of the tree was impressed by its indomitable spirit as well as its beauty in deformity. The tree, as if, is standing in a dancing pose! Now it is a strong tree surviving all the odds. It is now inside the compound of a restaurant. In the Summer, when restaurant patrons sit on tables set up in the front lawn, this unusual tree becomes an important topic of their discussion.

Similarly, human beings also face a lot of difficulties and barriers from their birth. There are discouragements, there are hatreds, there are envies and there are even hostilities in front of them. Those, who can wade through these murky waters with their heads held high, can succeed in life. Whatever qualities they have, they must give their best to pursue goals. They may bend, but they must not break! That very attitude of persistence will make them free.
