“SAINTS GO MARCHING IN\” – Margao
On October 06th 2022, Grace Church, Margao organised an unique programme viz “SAINTS GO MARCHING IN”. Nearly 73 children came dressed up to Church according to their favourite saints.
The children entered the Church in procession with the soul-captivating instrument music of “SAINTS GO MARCHING IN”. During his homily, Fr. Joe Rodrigues, the Parish Priest spoke on the CALL TO HOLINESS. He said we are created to become like Christ. In all of creation, only human beings are made “in God’s image and likeness. So God wants us to become Godly inculcating His values, attitudes and character. Exhorting the children become saints. Fr. Joe shared with them three tips: 1. CHEERFULNESS in living Christian life 2. Sense of duty to glorify God and 3. Loving and helping others to live a devout life. And at the end of the sermon there students were interviewed as what made them to embrace holy life. The difficulties they encountered and the message they have for today’s generation children. At the end of the mass each child introduced the saint that they represented. All the children were given badge with words “I AM A SAINT IN THE MAKING”. And all those who dressed as saints were given mouth watering cup-cakes.
