MUMBAI, AUG 16, 2017: Boys from Shelter Don Bosco participated in a series of games, quizzes and slogan presentations as they brought an end to the month dedicated to 
Mother Mary on August 13.
The programme began with a Marian hymn and lighting of lamp by Father Pratap Damor and the captains of the four teams. Father Damor, in his address, told the boys that Mother Mary was taking the place of their mother at Shelter and hence they could turn to her in their times of difficulties.
A round of games, such as maze, decoder, word search and picture puzzles followed. The quiz rounds were unique since the questions were on different religions, which were dealt with during the Marian month. The teams then prepared lively slogans on their team names which they presented.
Team Nehru, under the leadership of Yuvraj Pandey, won the Marian Nite with 450 points. "Our team is the best. Everyone cooperated and worked together as a team, hence we were able to win," Pandey said.
"The programme was very creative and lively, I liked it because children enjoyed it very much," added Father Damor.
