The Catholic Sabha Kokkada Unit, in collaboration with the Commission for Social Communication organized a singing competition for the parishioners on the joyful occasion of the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Monti Fest). The event aimed to encourage musical talent among parishioners and celebrate the spirit of devotion and unity.

Participants were invited to record their singing videos, which were later shared on the catholicsabha_kokkada Instagram page, allowing the entire parish community to enjoy and support their performances.

The competition featured four categories—three individual categories for children and one category for group singing. A total of 23 children took part in the individual sections, while five ward groups competed in the group singing category. Winners were determined based on the judges’ scores as well as Instagram likes, combining both talent and community engagement in the selection process.

The prize distribution ceremony was held on September 8, 2025, after the festive Holy Mass in honor of the Nativity. The ceremony took place in the church portico, where Rev. Fr. Anil Prakash D’Silva and Fr. Ashok D’Souza distributed prizes to the winners. Candles were also distributed to the sponsors in appreciation of their support.

The event was a great success, fostering joy, togetherness, and devotion within the parish community. The Catholic Sabha Kokkada Unit extended heartfelt thanks to all participants, judges, sponsors, and parishioners for their enthusiastic involvement and encouragement.
