Missionary Day of Children was celebrated at our Church, where the Missionary Children Association (MCA)—founded in France in 1843 by Bishop Charles de Forbin Janson with the motto ‘Children Helping Children’—awakens the missionary spirit of prayer and generous sacrifice in children worldwide, leading them to share spiritual and material resources. Holy Mass was held on 8th February 2026 (Sunday) at 10:30 am, celebrated by Rev. Fr. Pascal Menezes, with liturgy conducted by our Parish children. After the Mass, the covers with saved money were collected to help needy children. Sister Suchetha gave a talk about the missionary work, emphasizing that as missionaries, our help is not only giving money but also praying for those children.
