CHAVARA DAY 2020

                                      CHAVARA DAY 2020


                                                      

             Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara Day is celebrated on the  3rd of January every year. He is one of the first Indian male saint whi within a short span of time left an everlasting mark in this world with his enthusiasm, compassion and dedication. We Christ Nagarians celebrated this purest soul today.

          

            The celebration gave us more information on his life and works. The insight on him helped us realize the significance of it on the growth of the society. He is a person who, despite all circumstances sacrificed his entire life for the betterment of society as he believed, "days on which you have not rendered any good to others, will not be reckoned in the book of your life".           
          The programme got started with our Director, Fr Sony Sebastians speech on Saint Chavara. Later on, Sr.Linda gave us a wide description about his life and social works.I  sang a few of his poetry in the end of the sessions. It was indeed an enlightening moment for all. The programme got ended with a small exhibition of Saint Chavara's books. We also got the privilege to have one of his books along with sweets as a token of gift. St. Chavara who was beatified by Saint Pope John Paul II during his historic visit to India on 8 February 1986 and was canonized by Pope Francis at St. Peter’s Square on 23 November 2014 is truly an inspiration for generations to come.
