Our experience of the same is given below:-

Well organized trip. We really enjoyed being together in our  Lenten pilgrimage. Perfect weather to suit all of us. Felt truly blessed. We were indeed the chosen ones.

 

The weather was awesome  the stay very comfortable food delicious and above all it was a beautiful experience  We had very inspiring homilies with time to mediate pray and play  Thanks All for the good company and comediarie.

 

Loved my Lonavala trip. Spiritual and enjoyable.

 

 I, really had a great time with all of you. Feeling so Blessed meeting new people seeing new places, over all a wonderful experience. 

Only one thing comes to my mind is "Thank you Thank  you  Jesus".

Christmas Party

4th December 2022, was our Christmas party.

A Thanksgiving Mass was attended by us followed by a fun filled evening with the arrival of Santa  and his suprise gifts. 

It was in June 2022, Fr. Mario met up with our Team (reps. from each c'ty) encouraged us to arrange activities for the Seniors of our Parish.  And from the community fund would sponsor a snack at Rs50/= per month.

 

We decided to start with the most popular game, Housie.

30th June 2023, braving the rain ,  we had 40 of our Senior's enroll.  And since then we have arranged this game twice a month, till date.  And do plan to carry this on.   We have on an average 50 who enroll.

 

We have encouraged those participating to also celebrate their Birthday by sharing their goodness and goodies! And it's amazing how many have done so. Guess we become an extended family  for fun and fellowship. 

 

After the game we have an activity....laughter session, brain gym, mind body 

movement, to ensure we are flexible to attend the next Housie!

 

Dr. Margaret Miranda for  'The 

Family Day' , on 24th June 2022,  accompanied some of our Seniors on the guitar  in singing a couple of Theme pieces.....We are Happy Christians, etc.

Mervyn Barrett accompanied 

us on the guitar for Vianney Sunday and a band of Seniors belted popular Oldies with tapping feet around.

 

On the first Friday in August we conducted the Holy half hour.

 

On 28th September we enjoyed a picnic to Uttan - Cigad.

28 of us returned safely by bus after a jolly good time.
