This year children were asked to bring love offerings, which would be sent across to Jan Kalyan Trust Mahad Raigad, St. Xavier’s Church Mahad, a hostel for Adivasi, Katkari Children studying in different standards.
For the activity a star of a different color was given to the children, who then had to color or craft them.
Everyday snacks were given to the children.
A few parishioners sponsored some snacks for the children.
