BIS #1772 SALESIANS CELEBRATE THE FEAST OF OUR LADY UNDER THE UMBRELLA

BIS correspondent
JHABUA, FEBRUARY 20, 2010: It was indeed a happy as well as an encouraging sight to see the Salesians celebrating the feast of Our Lady under the umbrella. Dark clouds gathered around the village of Madhavpura to shed it’s divinely showers on the assembly. Thanks to the painstaking efforts of Fr. Joseph Soares who worked day in and day out to revive the spiritual health of the faithful. For the past two years no shepherd had been nurturing the faithful for many apprehensive reasons but with the tough and gentle touch of Fr. Joe things have changed a lot. The Vicar of the Diocese of Jhabua – Fr. Peter Kharadi was the main celebrant for the occasion. Together with them were Frs. Mathew Katara, Joeseph Soares, Inbanathan who concelebrated for the occasion. The faithful are strong in their faith and zealous about religious matters but they don’t have a roof above them wherein they can gather to praise God. But the lack of facility has not weakened their spirits. The catholic village has once again come to the realization that God loves them. Our Lady has once again played a vital role in getting her children back to her son.
