Feast of St. Don Bosco, the Patron of the youth Celebrated
On 31st of January mother church celebrates the feast of St. Don Bosco, the Patron of the youth. The youth of St. Martin of Tours Parish, Mpandagindo celebrated their patron’s day in a simple manner but in a very meaningful way. The festive mass was presided over by the youth Chaplin of the Archdiocese of Songea, Rev. Fr. Stephano Muwonge and concelebrated by the Parish Priest, Fr. Roshan Pinto OCD and Fr. Raymond Santhanaz OCD. The youth raised our hearts and minds to God with a melodious choir and well organized meaningful liturgy. A few youth leaders from the Archdiocese were also present for the celebration. After the mass there was a seminar on “Marriage”, for all the youth of the parish given by a well-known charismatic and youth leader Mr. Prosper Kipela from Mateka, a parish taken care by our priests. After the seminar there was an agape served for all the guests and the youth. After the meal the youth put up a short cultural programme followed by sensational auctioning to collect money for their group. Then Fr. Roshan Pinto, the Parish Priest distributed pictures of Divine Mercy and Rosary for all those who were present for the celebration as a souvenir. The youth thanked Fr. Roshan Pinto their parish priest and Sr. Sonia UMI their directress for their support and collaboration.
