St. Vincent Pallotti Parish organises rejuvenating day picnic for senior citizens

Mumbai: Amid the bustling energy of Mumbai, the Senior Citizens Association of St. Vincent Pallotti Church, Marol, organised a serene and joyous day picnic for 80 elders of the parish at the picturesque Estella Farm Resort, Manori.

A Day of Reflection and Fun

The day began with a peaceful journey to the resort, greeted by clear skies and a cool breeze. On arrival, the Holy Eucharist was celebrated by Parish Priest Fr. Victor Martis, setting a spiritual tone for the day. The service was followed by a birthday celebration for members whose special day coincided with the picnic.

The excitement of the seniors was palpable as they engaged in various activities. From splashing in the emerald waters of the pool and dancing in the rain to grooving to DJ music, the day was filled with joyous moments. A sumptuous East Indian meal was served, satisfying their appetites after a morning of fun and adventure games.

Bonding Through Games

Post-lunch, the participants showcased their talents through engaging quizzes and a lively game of Housie. These activities fostered camaraderie and added a spark of joy to the event.

As the day drew to a close, the group gathered for tea, reflecting on the serenity and fellowship experienced throughout the day before heading back home.

Fostering Wellness Among Elders

The event highlighted the importance of social outings for elders, offering them a break from the urban hustle. These moments of connection not only enhance mental and physical health but also rekindle the warmth of friendship and community that many may miss in their daily lives.

Jerome Martis, President of the Senior Citizens Association, expressed gratitude to all participants and organisers, ensuring that such memorable gatherings will continue in the future.
