Alex Loknathan VIRAR, SEPTEMBER 24, 2008: On Saturday, September 13, two bus loads of students from St. Aloysius High School, Nalasopara, accompanied by their Head Mistress Mrs. Sheela and a few staff members visited Resurrection Parish, Virar. The purpose of their visit was to give the students an opportunity to reach out to the poor in our parish. They had pre
pared very enthusiastically for this event by collecting food grains, biscuits and clothes, which they brought along with them. The youth of our parish warmly welcomed them on their arrival. The students were first taken to the Church where they spent some time in prayer. This was followed by a programme organized by the parish youth group. There were lots of action songs and value games to brighten up their minds. They were then divided into three groups and asked to prepare an advertisement on a public awareness theme which they did with much creativity. Next, there was an interesting session on the qualities of a leader and the need to aim high in life. It was definitely a wonderful day, filled with learning and fun. Thanks to Mrs. Sheela the principal, management, staff and students of St. Aloysius School for their generous contribution. Our economically disadvantaged parishioners have certainly benefited from their thoughtfulness and generosity.
