Mumbai: Grandparents are a family’s greatest treasure, the founders of a loving legacy, the greatest storytellers, the keepers of traditions, and the family’s strong foundation. Through their special love and care, grandparents keep a family close at heart. To honour them Youths of St. Vincent Pallotti Parish celebrated Grandparents Day on 30 July 2023.
The function started with welcoming the grandparents followed by classical dance performance by the Youths. To balance the tones set by the events thus far, Games were played in which grandparents participated with great zeal, followed by a dance performance.
Winner Grandparents from the Game were greeted with spot prizes by the Spiritual Director who is also the Parish Priest, which brought a twinkle to their dull eyes. Appropriate music and enthusiastic Grandparents & Youths combinations made these events runaway hits with all those present.
After this, the Parish Priest’s address left everyone speechless. The Youths also interacted with the guests, during snack distribution for them.
The general mood was one of exultation and everyone seemed truly happy. It was a successful event indeed, and the Youths as always would be pleased to organize many such events.
