The COVID-19 lockdown notwithstanding, the parish community of St. Dominic Savio at Wadala [E]- Mumbai, expressed its gratitude to parents and grandparents, on 26 July. Celebrating Sts. Joachim and Anne, parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the parish innovatively expressed its love through Zoom and other online mediums.

The parish children made a promise that they will do their best to obey their parents. The Sunday-school catechism children participated in the online prayerservice organised by the Archdiocese of Bombay. Some of the young people of the neighbourhood had a programme on Zoom. The parish youth show their gratitude by circulating a video prepared by them.

Even the lockdown didn't stop this expression of fond love for parents and invoking God's blessings on them.
