The Resurrection Parish church at Virar [E] celebrated the Nativity of Our Lady, with online masses and novenas. This had the entire parish community praying together.

For the 'serenade' to Mother Mary, families of different groups and languages sent in their videos, singing in front of Mother Mary, kept at a specially decorated place in their homes.

The catechism children sent in photographs of them presenting mumma Mary with beautiful, self-made greeting cards and the juniors sent videos of their relay dance.

A short flashback with fond memories of last year’s grand celebration was a touching moment for all.
