Belvai June 23, 2024: Our parish community gathered to celebrate Van Mahotsav, the annual tree-planting festival. This event was organized by the Catholic Sabha Belvai Unit, and it aimed at promoting environmental awareness and afforestation and saw enthusiastic participation from parishioners.
The celebration began with a prayer led by the parish priest, who emphasized the importance of preserving nature as a gift from God.
A variety of saplings, including fruit-bearing, and native tree saplings were planted around the church's backyard. Rev. Fr Joseph Alphonse Cardoza and Rev. Fr Ivan Dsilva planted one sapling each.
One sapling each for a family was also distributed to emphasize the collective responsibility of the community toward nurturing nature and contributing to a greener future.
Parish Council members, Catholic Sabha Belvai unit members, YCS Belvai youths, and others participated and planted saplings.
