Showers of Blessings in Dum Dum

 - Florence Ekka




Dum Dum: The 7th of January was a special day for the parishioners of Mother Teresa’s parish, Dum Dum. The morning mass was celebrated by the Most Rev. Archbishop Thomas D’Souza who conferred the sacrament of Confirmation to 23 young boys and girls of the parish. They had gone through a year-long catechism class along with an intensive training over the last week, only to make sure that they truly understand the responsibilities that come along with this sacrament. His Grace also reiterated in his homily the power of the Holy Spirit that would be helping these youngsters to become more dynamic and active in the parish and also to become witnesses through their lives.

The double-fold blessing came when His Eminence, Cardinal Patrick D’Rozario, came to celebrate the evening mass. All the way from Bangladesh, he had come for a family wedding and we had the privilege of celebrating the holy mass with him . In his homily, he emphasized on the revelation of Christ on the Feast of Epiphany. He brought the message of the Holy Father, who recently visited Bangladesh that Christ came for everyone regardless of caste, creed or religion. He also insisted that we reveal and take Christ – the light of the world – to all our brothers and sisters. The humbl e Cardinal blessed everyone and also passed on the blessings of the Holy Father, who is very eager to visit India.
