Sep 26 : 'Sokkad Sangatha Melyam...' in the spirit of this beautiful hymn the members, family and friends of the Konkani Kutam of Germany came together to celebrate the birthday of Mother Mary in Marienhiede on September 17th at St Maria Heimsuchung Church. Around 120 members were present on this occasion.
At 11 am the community gathered together in the church compound to sing praises to our Mother Mary and venerated her statue with flowers. A procession into church followed thereafter for a Eucharistic celebration in Konkani. The main celebrant was Fr Richard lobo along with co-celebrantes Fr Robert Rego ,Fr Ivan Lobo led us through a beautiful spiritual experience. The Bethany sisters prepared a meaningful liturgy and choir. During the offertory procession vegetables grown by our community members were presented.
The spiritual celebration was followed by a social one in the church hall. It was an opportunity to meet for new members to interact with older ones. A big spread of home-cooked lunch and voarn with Jalebi was served. The afternoon was entertaining with song, dance, games, Konkani Skits and an auction of the vegetables.We had lovely music provided by Dj Stephen Lobo.
