    VASAI DIOCESE had to rely on non-konkani ashram children to make up their strength for Monti Fest celebration. Most of the co-celebrant priests were also non-konkani though there are enough Konkani priests in Vasai. May be they had the fear that Mangaloreans will attend the Monti Fest celebrated under the leadership of a Konkani organisation.
