Christmas is the celebration of the great love. God the father showed this to us through the life of Jesus Christ.
Christmas became a memorable experience for the residents of our locality in Housing Board Colony, Rewari, Haryana.
On 25th December 2008, we put up a Christmas programme for the children of our locality with the help of Bro. Leo Antony and the families of Mr. Muniram and Mr. Bajaj Rao. Miss Manisha of 8th standard was the organizer of the programme. Fr. Thomson OFM Cap from Bawal Ashram was present for the celebration.
The response of the children and their parents were very impressive and enthusiastic. To my surprise more than 50 children took part the Christmas evening. It would be a cherishing memory in their hearts for a long time.
The function started with a short prayer followed by cutting of the cake. There were dances, story telling, narratives etc. The children enjoyed snacks with cake there after.
Another interesting part of it is that they themselves came and decorated the house and surroundings for the programme.
The people of our locality always appreciate our presence and activities and give lot of encouragement and support for our growth in the capuchin way of life.
