Holy Childhood Day 2025 Celebrated with Joy and Devotion at Mount Rosary Church on Sunday, 9th February 2025.

The Missionary Children of Mount Rosary Parish, under the banner of the Pontifical Mission Organisation, came together on Holy Childhood Day 2025 to celebrate a special Eucharistic service. Young members from Class IV to Class X actively participated in the 9:15 AM Holy Mass, taking charge of the liturgy, choir, readings, and offertory with enthusiasm and devotion. They were meticulously guided by Rev. Fr. Oliver Nazareth, the Assistant Parish Priest, and Sr. Ancilla R. D’Mello, Headmistress of Mount Rosary High School, with the unwavering support of the Children’s Commission for Evangelization & Proclamation, led by Mrs. Zeena D’Souza and her dedicated team.

The Holy Mass, presided over by Rev. Fr. Cyril Lobo, Director of Divya Jyothi, was an uplifting spiritual experience. His homily resonated deeply as he encouraged the young minds to look inward, look upward, and look outward, blending engaging anecdotes with real-life lessons.

Following the Mass, the children gathered at the Mount Rosary English Medium School corridors for an interactive and fun-filled session. A variety of games, team-building activities, and short pep talks reinforced values of unity, patience, and social responsibility. While financial contributions may not be possible at their age, the children were inspired to offer their time, energy, and talents to society.

The session, filled with joy and learning, continued till 11:45 AM, leaving a lasting impression on the 43 boys and 38 girls who attended. Rev. Fr. Cyril Lobo emphasized the importance of worshipping God alongside peers while excelling in academics and character-building.

Adding to the occasion’s significance, Vicar Rev. Dr. Roque D’Souza made a special visit to oversee the arrangements and personally extended his best wishes to all participants.

The celebration of Holy Childhood Day 2025 was a memorable and meaningful experience, making faith and fellowship come alive for the young parishioners. The dedicated efforts of the organizers, clergy, and volunteers made the event a resounding success, leaving the children inspired and spiritually enriched.
