CFMSS accompany the youth through various programmes like camps, seminars, Sunday schools, BCC/SCC, Jesus Youth, Choir sessions, Bible classes, retreats, meditations and prayer sessions. We try to inculcate in them various life skills, value based choices to think critically and individually, to apply knowledge for everyday life, continually strive for excellence in every field, to become men and women of character to use their freedom judicially and to be unselfish in serving others. Spiritual accompaniments make them grow in faith and discerning their vocation in life. Through prayer and meditation they learn to love silence and quiet moments and leading them to appreciate every gift of life. Visit to the old age homes and caring centers inculcate in them the love for the poor and keep company with the less fortunate. They also grow in social awareness in healthy relationships, refined manners, clear in self expression, transparent and accountable. They learn to grow in confidence, in conscience formation, compassion and commitment, collaboration and co-operation, in mutual trust and sharing.
