BIS # 1103 BORIVLI CELEBRATES NATIVITY OF OUR LADY

Harry Menezes
BORIVLI, SEPTEMBER 10, 2008: The Nativity of Our Lady was celebrated at St John Bosco Church, Borivli this year in a unique manner. The preparation for the celebrations started on August 30, the first day of the nine day novena, and culminated with a solemn concelebrated Eucharist on September 8, at 7.30 pm. Being the year of St Paul, a special theme on this saint was selected for each of the novena days. Besides this, each of the nine days was animated by an association of the parish and special offerings were made by the parishioners, which were distributed to the poor and needy. The feast day Mass was concelebrated by Fr. Ronald Menezes, Fr. Bosco D’Mello and Fr. Alwyn Misquitta. Over a thousand parishioners were present at this Eucharistic celebration to express their devotion and render their thanks to our Blessed Mother.
