Michael Fernandes, the Provincial of the Salesian province of Mumbai in the presence of the entire Salesian Provincial Council of Mumbai along with the priests and sisters from  in and around Ahmednagar.

 

Early in the evening Bishop Lourdes Daniel and Fr. Michael Fernandes along with the provincial council and the other priests and sisters were welcomed by the villagers. Bishop Lourdes Daniel unveiled the plaque and Fr. Michael cut the ribbon after which the faithful entered the chapel for the Eucharistic celebration. After having blessed the water the Bishop blessed the entire chapel and all those who were present.

 

The Bishop during the homily exhorted the people to come closer to one another and to God thus building the church of God into one family. After the Eucharist the people felicitated the Bishop, the Provincial, priests and sisters. The programme ended with fellowship meal.

 

Indeed all the faithful of Malvi were very happy during the entire ceremony. Everyone returned with joy in their hearts.
