Sadbhavana Day at Pushpashrama
December 25, 2016 on the day of Christmas, the community of Pushpashrama along with the neighbors of the vicinity celebrated the ‘Sadbhavana Day’ at the college auditorium. This was the day to celebrate and to share the joy, peace and love of the Infant Jesus with the non-Christian brethren who lived in and around Ranithota. The day commenced at 4-30pm with the prayer song. Rev Fr Alfred Menezes, rector of Pushpashrama laid a red-carpet welcome to all the neighbors. Fr Vijay D’ Costa, the chief guest in his speech explained the mystery of Incarnation where God is taking the form of a human person to live among the people. At the same time he invited all to experience the peace and love of Jesus in their personal as well as family lives. The cultural event was the combination of dances and songs which were performed by the play home kids, neighboring school children, college students, religious sisters and also the brothers of Pushpashrama. Large number of neighbors witnessed the celebration and were entertained by the cultural bonanza and shared the Christmas joy with each other. Towards the end of programme all were given Christmas sweets which became a platform to share the common brotherhood and sisterhood with each other. Thus the Sadbhavana Day became a podium to share the Christmas joy with our non-Christian brethren.
