Bangalore, Mar 16: A programme was held at the NBCLC on Saturday March 14 by Focolare to mark the first death anniversary of Chiara Lubich.

The event began with a power point presentation on Chiara’s life of sacrifice and compassion.

This was followed by a welcome dance by ‘Nrityavani’ of NBCLC after which the Holy Eucharistic celebration was offered by Archbishop Bernard Moras of Bangalore, with Fr Glen and Fr Cleophas being the concelebrants.

Priests, nuns, and many others participated in the event. Archbishop Moras appreciated the model life led by Chiara and added that the Focolare movement is an example of  love in unity as people from all over the world converging under one roof.

Carmen and Rey talked of Chiara’s teachings and quoted some of her valuable teachings. Posters of Chiara were on display and the programme concluded with high tea at 6 pm.
