Mangalore, Jul 22: Catholic Sabha Valencia unit celebrated Vanamahostava at Valencia church, here on Sunday July 22.

Fr Bonaventure Nazareth, while giving away the saplings to parish council vice president said, "If you do not have sufficient space at your household, plant and nurture the sapling outside your house. One ought to love nature and fight for the betterment of the nature.”

 

Fr Bonaventure also distributed plants and announced that prizes would be given to those taking care of those saplings well and if they would be found growing lush green during August 2008.

Catholic Sabha president Raymond D’Cunha welcomed the gathering. Secretary Leena Fernandes proposed vote of thanks.

    What a marvellous gesture on the part of the Catholic Sabha of Valencia Parish to distribute saplings to the parishoners to commemorate the Vanamahotsava festival. We wish to complement those that masterminded this unique thought !! As and when we are in India during July, we shall also come forward at the St. Vincent's Church to receive our share of the saplings from the Padre Vigar and carry the saplings carefully to our farm in Sakhlaspur and plant them tastefully alongside the beautifull Grotto of our Lady of Lourdes in front of the "Prarthanalaya".

    We might even decide to name about ten square-foot space as "Valencia Bhoomy" so that we can both boast ourselves that we were both born and baptized at the Valencia Church and have every right to name a small corner as "Valencia".
