Dona Prabhune VIRAR, NOVEMBER 21, 2008: The ‘SCC Sports Weekend’ was held on November 15, at Resurrection Parish. This event was organized by the Parish Cultural Cell in association with the Parish Youth Movement. Th
e aim of this unique venture was to bring together people from all the corners of the parish. It was a wonderful opportunity for people to compete, make friends, pick up new ideas, and learn how to win and lose, and accept success and failure as it comes. But probably the most important lesson learnt during this weekend was Team spirit – ‘Together Everyone Achieves the Most’, was the slogan prominently displayed. All the eight communities participated in large numbers with each community choosing a particular colour for its team. The sports meet was declared open by the Chief Guest Fr. Gregory D’Cunha, who was accompanied by the Guest of Honour Fr. Bento D’Souza. Our Parish Priest Fr. Blany Pinto expressed his joy that such an event was being held in the parish and he also appreciated Fr. Edwin Colaco who had made it happen. The games were filled with excitement and good cheer. The juniors had an inter-community cricket tour
nament while the senior citizens had a carom tournament. The men had rink-football and the girls and women had a throw-ball tournament. The cheer leaders and mascots added to the sparkle of the event. Don Bosco 2 Community emerged the overall champions while the Helping Hands Community was the runners-up. Don Bosco 1 Community was placed third. The chief guest for the prize distribution ceremony was Police Inspector Vijay Patil. He was extremely glad to visit us and give away the certificates and prizes.
