MUMBAI, SEPTEMBER 4, 2008: Tej-Prasarini, Don Bosco Communications, has produced a new music compact disc in Marathi in honour of our Blessed Virgin Mary entitled Vandan Tuziya Charani. The church of Sacred Heart Parish, Yerwada, Pune was packed for the 7.1
5 am Mass on August 31, 2008. “Kumari Maria” is one of the most lilting songs in this album. The girls of Epiphany English High School who were well-trained, joyfully danced to the music of this song before the mass could commence. With this song and dance, a proper mood was set for the participation in the Eucharist. So excited was the Parish Priest, Fr. Francis Kharjia that one could see the joy on his face as he released the album during the mass. After the mass, the parishioners made a beeline for a copy of the album. The album was specially priced at Rs. 75 to suit the budget of the local parishioners. The dedicated singers of the album are just simple people but they have done a tremendous job in pouring out their hearts with their resonant voices to honour our Blessed Virgin Mary. The inspiring lyrics of this album were penned by Mr. Anil Wakde and the music was arranged by Mr. Amon Daniels. The Assistant Producer, Mr. Shashi Kumar Jadhav contributed with his talents to give this album a professional touch. The entire project was successfully coordinated by Fr. Joaquim Fernandes, Director of Tej-Prasarini, Don Bosco Communications.
