Bonded by Generosity: OCDS Community’s
Mission Sale
The Our Lady of Mt. Carmel OCDS Community in Margao held a
lively and successful mission sale on October 27, 2024, bringing
together community spirit and generosity for a meaningful cause.
Proceeds from the sale will support the Carmelite community in
Kushalnagara and assist the sick and needy in Goa.
The church compound was alive with excitement as tables overflowed
with colourful handmade crafts, delicious baked goods, savoury
treats, and an assortment of unique plants. The aroma of freshly
baked delicacies filled the air, drawing eager crowds to the snack
tables. Visitors were welcomed by OCDS members with warm smiles and
guided through the many offerings, each item carrying a story shared
enthusiastically by those who had crafted or donated them.
Throughout the day, a strong sense of companionship united
attendees, creating a beautiful atmosphere of connection and
purpose. The event not only raised significant funds for mission
outreach programs but also strengthened community bonds, embodying
the congregation’s spirit of collaboration and support.
By the end of the day, smiles were everywhere, hearts were full, and
there was an eager anticipation for the next gathering—another
chance to unite in purpose and love.
