    Excellent arrangements by the Canara Welfare Association in organizing a grand Monti Fest and Traditional Novem Jevon at Sacred Heart Church, Andheri East. The feast mass was celebrated by Fr. Naveen and con-celebrated by Fr. Baptist, Fr. Richard , Fr. Serrao & Fr. Cyril.
    Fr. Naveen your sermon was inspiring and amazing as always. It was a pleasure for me to be in the choir and participate in this grand celebration. All the arrangements made for the mass were outstanding.
    The programme and traditional novem jevon after the mass was outstanding. The children at Sacred Heart Church showed their love for the Konkani language by putting in numerous konkani songs and dances. I enjoyed every bit in organizing and supporting Mr. Victor Concessao & Mrs. Irene Mathias in putting up the cultural programme.

    The parishioners at Sacred Heart Church are so dynamic that every event ends with so much of excitement and fun. Its a great blessing for me to be a part of this vibrant parish which is being lead by such a loving and well talented team - Fr. Baptist, Fr. Richard, Fr. Naveen, Fr. Edward & Fr. Raja.

    Cheers to you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Special thanks to Daijiworld & Rons Bantwal for providing this excellent coverage with pictures.

    I thank all the members of Canara welfare Association for organising the feast very solemnly to the the satisfaction of everybody present for the Feast. the entire programme was very well organised. This programme was very well supported by many helping hands-parish choir, little children of our parish, comperes, meal etc.. All the items in the hall(specially by the children)were excellent. As parish priest I feel very proud to have a group like this who is very supportive and understanding. Thank you Daijiworld and Rons Bantval for the excellent coverage of the celebration.
