Melbourne, Aug 28: The Mangalorean Catholic community in Melbourne is eagerly looking forward to September 1 to celebrate the Nativity feast, which is a bit earlier than usual.
The Mangalorean Catholic Association of Victoria (MCAV) is celebrating the event in the Sacred Heart Church, Kew.
A typical family residence, Kew
Bishop Aloysius Paul D’Souza of Mangalore will be the main celebrant at the Mass to be held on this special occasion. This is the very first time that a Mangalorean Konkani Mass is being held for the community.
Here are some beautiful buildings in Kew for the viewing pleasure of daijiworld readers. While many period houses in Mangalore are getting demolished to make way to modernization, the residents of Kew take pride in conserving the buildings of yester-years. And there are many such buildings, from the family residences to the many school buildings, the beauty of the period-style structures transport one to the days before the World War I.
