Dear Brothers,
With Advent, we have started the New Year of the Church Calendar. To usher it in with the spirit of Christmas, we celebrate.
We celebrated " Light-up for Christ" on 1st December 2009 commencing at 8:00 pm, in unison with our fraternity spread all over North America.
It was a gathering of nearly 50, of our Brother Knights and their families, who earlier attended the 7:00 pm Mass.
We assembled on the circular lawn in front of the main Church entrance, around a crib setup in front of the lit-up Christmas Tree at the centre of the lawn.
Under a cool and pleasant sky, the celebration began with a Christmas Prayer, followed by Singing of Christmas Hymns and Carols in a melodious blend of voices of the assembled children, Ladies and Brother Knights to the accompaniment of music provided by guitarists Bro. Luis Gomes and Bro. Victor D'Souza.
"We wish you a Merry Christmas" echoed as we concluded and proceeded to Friendship Avenue in the Church for a refreshing coffee.
I thank our Church Director Brother Jestin Nazren for organizing the event, our IPGK Brother Valens Almeida, Brother Hilary D'Souza, Brother Joseph Remedios for their assistance in the set-up crib and lighting, Brother Kelvin Netto for setting up the refreshments and Brothers Luis
Gomes and Victor D'Souza for the guitar music.
Finally, a big thank you to all who attended, participated and graced the occasion.
Fraternally,
Simon Mendes
Grand Knight
