Ashwin Macwan sdb PUNE, NOVEMBER 27, 2008: On November 21, as a part of the ongoing Marian month, the community of Don Bosco Youth Centre together with the neighboring religious houses celebrated an evening with Mary. The programme began with the traditional Indian welcome – signing the forehead of the guests with Tikka. Then there was a prayer service during which Fr. Vincent Rasquinha, Rector, garlanded the statue of Our Lady. Representatives of various houses came up and lit the lamp and all present offered flowers to Our Lady as a sign of love and gratitude for the wonderful things she has done in our lives. Fr. Vincent then welcomed one and all to the beautiful evening and he urged them to experience the love of Mary. The evening was made up of different items like songs, dances, band pieces etc. The programme ended with an inspiring PowerPoint presentation on Our Lady.
