Ryshivana, 08 Sept 2019: The feast of the Nativity of Blessed Virgin Mary which is called ‘Monthi Fest’ in Mangalore among Christians was celebrated with solemnity. All the parishioners gathered on the terrace of Ryshivana for blessing of the new corn and showering of flowers to Mother Mary as a sign of love and devotion. Fr. Santhosh D’Souza the Parish Priest and Fr. Joseph D’Souza OCD blessed the corn and proceeded towards the Church in procession for the solemn celebration of the Eucharist in which the participants of Ryshivana also joined in.

It was a community day celebration for Ryshivana with a variety of liturgical and cultural stuff by singing and performing the traditional onam dance. ‘Banana leaf’ lunch with multiple vegetable delicacies was the culmination of the celebration. It was a wonderful day for all in Ryshivana to experience unity and fraternity in the diversity of 25 congregations.
