Sannidhi 5 Dec 2022
Shimoga: Most Rev Dr Francis Serrao SJ, the Bishop of Shimoga, inaugurated the MFC Families Get-together with the Holy Eucharist on 4 Dec 2022 in Sannidhi.
During his homily, he spoke on the establishment of God's Kingdom on earth and repentance. Around 70 people including the children were present for the Get-together organised for the first time in the Diocese. It was a small but bold step from the Family Commission of the diocese - Sanjeevana to bring MFC families together.
Soon after, it was followed by a short stage programme wherein the Bishop was felicitated for his tremendous support and encouragement to the MFC in the diocese.
During his speech, he emphasised the need to make a room fir Christ in their heart He admonished the members to live as true Missionaries in their places where they live and wished that the diocese should have at least 100 MFC families in the next year.
It was then followed by fun and frolic with chance games, carol singing, Christmas dances, skits, etc. There were fifteen MFC families from Shimoga Diocese and three MFC couples from Bangalore present with their children. The participants were mainly from Cathedral, Sharavathinagarand New Town parishes. The program was well organised and appreciated by the participants.
All of them actively participated in all the events. Mrs Victoria compered during the program and Mr David Raj proposed vote of thanks.
