Family's are broken, divorces have increased, greed has increased, there is no spirit of sacrifice in life.
The Bishop further said, "Unconditional love of God is shown to us in Jesus Christ. And to show that love, Jesus sacrificed himself. From today, let us try to put more love, confession and tolerance in our families. Let our families be shrines of peace and love."
The Bishop was felicitated on this occasion. The winners of 'Star Wars' were awarded prizes by the Bishop. Fr. Stephen Alwyn Pereira OCD delivered the vote of thanks.
