On Sunday, 1st June 2025, our parish joyfully celebrated Ascension Sunday along with the inauguration of Catechism classes for the academic year 2025.
The celebration began with a prayerful procession to the altar by the catechism students, parents, teachers, Parish Priest Rev. Fr. Anil Prakash D’silva and Rev. Fr. Ashok D'souza.
Fr. Anil officially inaugurated the catechism year by handing over the Holy Bible to the teachers and catechism textbooks to the students. To mark the beginning of a new journey in faith, teachers and parents watered a plant, symbolizing growth, commitment, and the nurturing of young hearts in the love of Christ. Saritha Strella served as the Master of Ceremonies.
Parish Council Secretary Veena Mascarenhas and Vice President Praveen Noel Monteiro were also present on the altar. Following the inauguration, the Sunday Mass was celebrated. Rev. Fr. Anil Prakash D’Silva was the main celebrant, joined by Rev. Fr. Ashok D’Souza, who concelebrated the Mass. Their presence added spiritual grace to the occasion.
The celebration was a beautiful beginning to the catechism year, filled with prayer, unity, and a renewed dedication to faith formation.
