Jan 21, 2018: “Coming together is a beginning Working together is growth Celebrating together is Joy.” It was indeed a joyous day for the Parishioners of Mai De Deus Church Puttur to join and celebrate together the Community day on 21st January 2018.
To mark the Celebration the Eucharistic meal was held at 9.00 a.m. which was officiated by Rev. Fr. Nelson D‘Almeida Professor at St. Joseph’s Seminary Mangalore. In his homily he called upon the faithful to contribute generously for building of the Church because each one is part of the Body of Christ. The Eucharist was concelebrated by Rev. Fr. Alfred Pinto the Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Praveen D’souza the Asst. Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Rithesh Rodrigues the Professor St. Philomena College, and Fr. Valerian Mascarenhas the resident priest. Since our Diocese has dedicated this year to the Holy Rosary, the Logo of Holy Rosary was symbolically inaugurated by the celebrants.
Holy Eucharist was followed by unique and meaningful cultural programme which was held in the Mai De Deus Church Hall at 10.30 a.m. Rev. Fr. Mark Castelino, the Parish Priest of Mogarnad, was the Chief Guest. Three outstanding Parishners who had rendered yeoman service were honoured. The eminent persons are Mrs. Agnes Rodrigues, Mr. Joe Dsouza and Mr. Baptist Tauro. The selfless services of 19 wards Gurkars wre recognised and honoured. A well organised cultural programme by the catechism children and the teachers was appreciable and was befitting for the day. The celebration reached its climax with the festive meal which was prepared and contributed by the Parishioners.
