On 6th Oct 2016, the msmhc of
Italian Delegtion came together to celebrate our twin feasts namely Delegation
Day and the Opening of the Platinum Jubilee of the congregation.
We commenced our day at 9:40 with a meaningful
prayer service. From the veranda all proceeded inside hall, where beautifully
prepared backdrop with inscription: “To God be the glory”. On either side, the
statue of Mary Help of Christians and Bishop Ferrando’s Picture
was placed. All around there was display
of the sayings of Bishop Ferrando rendering special effect. Soft background
music was played creating conducive atmosphere for prayer and worship. 
All took active part in the prayer service,
drawing strength, inspiration and act of entrustment for the future. Sr. Marta
terminated the prayer service with unveiling of the Jubilee Emblem and
officially declaring the Platinum Jubilee Year Open, followed by round of
applause and hymn to our founder in unison.
At 11 am, we had Solemn Mass celebrated by Fr.
Nallayan sdb in the community chapel at Crocetta. During the homily, Fr.
Nallayan beautifully highlighted the function of the flowers: It gives to the
beholder sweet fragrance filling them with joy and happiness. Our life of
consecration too calls for the same function that is, spreading sweet
perfume/fragrance of good works. He concluded his homily with three points to
remember
1.
Have a good self-esteem. Be always grateful
2.
Be responsible
3.
Be duty minded.
After the Mass, we had light refreshment with
Fr. Nallayan and Fr. Mark the new Rector of the Theological studies at
Crocetta. At around 12:30 we proceeded to the Chinese restaurant for the lunch
and then around 3pm all departed to their respective place.
Long Live MSMHC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
