Monthly Reflection by
Fr. Augustine Vallooran VC

"My eyes have seen your salvation" (Luke 2:30)

Our God works marvels when we place our lives into His saving hands. This has been the tremendous experience we have had, as we minister here at the Divine Retreat Centre...every week, we witness people with radical faith turning over their lives to God...

"Do you understand what you are reading?"… And he said – "How can I, unless someone guides me?" (Acts 8:30-31)

The Divine Bible College was formed in 2002 to teach those who wished to study and understand the Word of God. It has been a tremendous success with students from all over the world flocking in, to learn from renowned Bible scholars. In 2007 it was renamed the 'Divine Institute of Bible and Spirituality'

The Divine Institute of Bible and Spirituality offers three courses in Bible & Spirituality - the short term course in Malayalam and English and the one year course in English.

The Divine Institute of Bible and Spirituality is affiliated to Calicut University and is a certified course.
