First-day Infant Jesus Novena was held on 5th January 2021. Rev Fr Charles Serrao, Rev Fr Gregory D’Souza, Rev Fr Roopesh – Bondel, Rev Fr Wilfred Rodrigues, Rev Fr Joseph D’Souza, Rev Fr Lancy Mendonca, Rev Fr Vijay Machado etc. offered Masses. Today special prayers were offered for youth. A huge number of devotees came to the shrine. Covid–19 regulations were duly observed.
Today all prayers were focused for Youth. All youth if they have to develop well, have to focus on self-control. Only then we can focus on our mission. Animal nature in us has to be subdued. This was the main teaching of today.
Masses were celebrated from Morning 6 AM to 7:30 PM in Konkani, English, Kannada & Malayalam. Many Devotees took part in these Novena Masses.
