Creation of small Christian Committees

We encourage the sharing of the word of God during the weekdays in the different hostels. Arrange with the office of the Chaplain to know when a priest or a religious can visit your small Christian community in your respective hostels outside the University. Let us get to know who lives next to us in our hostels and their needs.
