Mangalore, Apr 18: The Mukka parish, near Surathkal, here has shown a rare kind of gesture by felicitating local corporator Rajani Dugganna who was elected as a mayor of the city last month.
On behalf of all the parishioners, Fr Lawrence Martis, parish priest of Holy Spirit parish, Mukka felicitated Dugganna on Saturday April 17.
Usually, there is a trend among the communities to felicitate the achievers from their own community but the parishioners of Mukka have set up a new trend, ‘Hail the person based on humanity, regardless of his/her community’.
Prior to the stage programme, Leo Rodrigues, NRI entrepreneur from Abu Dhabi and donor inaugurated the renovated stage.
Leo Rodrigues and Laveena couple, Francis Fernandes Cascia, the play-wright of Mataro Chorbela, Konkani social play and actor, were also felicitated by Mukka parish council on the occasion.
Parish council vice president Triza Monteiro welcomed the gathering. Anita and Sunita compered the programme. Secretary Alphonse Pereira proposed the vote of thanks.
Later, the forty ninth show of Mataro Chorbela, Konkani social play was staged at the parish ground.
