Children’s Day at Pushpashrama
An anonymous writer once wrote, “The last place you’ll find
innocence in the earth will be in children’s faces”.
Children truly are like beautiful flowers who will add charm to any
occasion. Our Community of Pushpashrama with great love to the tiny
tots, organised a day for these children at our shrine on 19th of the
month of November. The mass which was held at 5:30 PM was officiated by
Fr. Pradeep Pinto along with other community fathers. The entire liturgy
which included symbolic offering to God, thanksgiving prayer and so on
was animated by the kids around our shrine at Pushpashrama. The angelic
choir was of the children of St. Anne’s boarding which was conducted by
our brothers along with the liturgy. Fr. Pradeep’s homily was directed
to these children to whom he asked few biblical questions and gifted
those who answered right.
After the mass, the children were asked to gather in the auditorium
where they displayed their talents by singing and dancing. Brothers also
conducted few games and performed a dance to conclude the event. Along
with the refreshments, children were also presented few gifts which
included a piggy bank, through which they were encouraged to save money
and return the amount next year which will be forwarded to a noble
cause.
Thus the event which concluded around 8-00 PM brought smiles in the
faces of all those who participated in the Children’s day. The children
went home with great joy finding great difficulty to say ‘bye’ to the
fathers and the brothers of Pushpashrama.
