Karkala: Christmas Get-together of ICYM Nakre Held


Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (RD)

Karkala, Dec 28: 'Peace and harmony are needed in the existing society. The preaching of Jesus Christ will be prevalent in all ages.  We can find the presence of God in our fellowmen only when we explore God within us.  It is the message of Jesus Christ to love all from the bottom of our hearts. We ought to return the debt of Jesus by preaching His message to everybody", said Rajendra Bekal, taluk panchayat, chief executive officer.

He was speaking at the Christmas get-together programme organized by Indian Catholic Youth Movement (ICYM) at Nakre here on Thursday, December 27.  

'The need of the hour is to spread the message of Jesus Christ 'to love everyone as he loved'.  A new era was born with Jesus; despite being crucified, he pleaded His Father in heaven not to punish his persecutors.  Let us lead our lives with His message,' said Nakre Bipin Chandrapal, litterateur who was the guest of honour at the occasion.

Michael D'Silva, parish priest of Nakre church, in his presidential address, said that it's the symbol of simplicity for Jesus to be born in a manger. He called on the people to lead life with peace and love besides simplicity.

Delsy Fernandes and Joswita Fernandes sang Christmas carols.  Arun Castelino, president of local unit of ICYM, welcomed and Johnson D'Souza proposed the vote of thanks. George Castelino, recipient of excellent teacher national award compered the programme.  Traditional Christmas delicacies were distributed to all.
