Ignatian Leadership Programme
Sixteen middle-aged Jesuits of our province
flocked together for their Ignatian Leadership follow-up programme at Saputara
from 18 to 21 November. This was a second follow-up programme of this group
under the able, wise and experienced leadership of Fr J M Heredero. This time the group had the privilege of yet
another eminent Jesuit of our province Fr
Franco, who brought in a lot of his experiences of the universal society.
Both Frs Heredero and Franco, the odd couple as it were, came with well-planned
inputs, centred on “effective and affective communication, dialogue and
leadership.”
As the middle aged Jesuits climbed up the only
Hill Station of Gujarat – Saputara, they also began to climb up slowly and
gradually the heights of Ignatian Leadership. The group felt very much at home
with each other, acting, reacting and interacting with each in sessions and
outside sessions while relaxing. There was no inhibition of any kind from any
quarter. To add to it the host – the Shamgahan Fathers – went all out of their
way to prepare dishes that our Jesuits relished. At the end of programme the
group decided to have a retreat in common in the coming Diwali Vacation at Mt
Abu. It seems that the prevalent scarcity of Jesuit Leadership may reduce by
such enriching and enhancing programmes in the province! Hats off to Frs.
Heredero and Franco and of course the host. (Raymund Chauhan)
