    Yes, I really miss this feast since now I am in Mumbai. But I always pray to St Lawrence and he has always answered my prayers and I have full faith in him. He is truly a saviour. I feel proud being a member of this parish. I wish all the devotees, parishioners and all those who made their way on these special feast days .. all the success, good health and also pray that may all their wishes come true. Saant Loresa Bapa tuka naman.

    This brings me close to my native place as I have visited couple of time to this holy place and is one of the example to other religions to witness here.  Mostly Christians & Hindus visit with belief and it is so peaceful.
