The seminarians went out to different places in Goa to be with the poor and marginalised sections of society as a part of the St. Joseph outreach programme. the places selected this year were Gaondongrim (Canacona), Zuarinagar (Birla, Vasco) and Dhabal. it was an enriching experience as the seminarians interacted with the people, conducted a few games and songs, listened to their grievances and consoled them and gave them strength and support to carry on with courage and hope, their daily life. after spending quality time with them the seminarians distributed small gifts to them, and smiles were on the faces of both the people as well as of the seminarians as the seminarians returned to the seminary.
