    It is a noble and commendable  service giving to the poor and helpless sections of the society, and this act is well-pleasing  to God. In some parts of India, if we spend $ 100.00 or less, it would be enough for the expenses of a marriage when conducted as mass wedding.

    Hearty congratulations.

    I thank St. Vincent Paul's Society for conducting this occasion, a real help for the poor adults who could not marry for various reasons. Single adults are a threat as well as responsibility of our society. We must support the cause of this organization - it is arranging marital bliss to deprived people so that these adults will find solace in each other.
