Begin a new with Gratitude – 2018
December 31, 2017 – a day of thanking the Lord for the manifold
blessings that He has showered upon each and every one of us. On this
beautiful day the Pushpashrama Fathers and brothers along with the
faithful of the vicinity conducted a thanksgiving adoration at 10-00
p.m. for the year 2017 followed by the Holy Eucharist at 10-45 p.m. Rev.
Fr Vincent, Principal of St Philomena’s college presided over the
Eucharistic celebration along with other seven priests. Fr Oswald Crasta
preached an inspiring homily highlighting the virtues and qualities of
Mary to be practiced in the New Year 2018. The brothers of Pushpashrama
through their angelic choir enabled the faithful to raise their hearts
and minds to God in thanksgiving. After the Eucharistic celebration, as
the people were wishing each other, coffee and cakes were served to
enhance the joy of New Year 2018.
On the New Year day – the Solemnity of Mary the Mother of God, the holy
mass commenced at 8-00 a.m. celebrated by Fr Pradeep Pinto. Fr Joy
Francis preached the homily highlighting the significance of the title
Theotokos and invited the faithful to keep up the resolutions that we
make at the beginning of the New Year 2018. May this New Year 2018
become the strong foundation to experience the presence of Jesus and
live our life according to the will of God.
