As Christmas is round the corner and Christmas preparations like shopping, house-cleaning, decorations, and sweet-making, happen, the Don Bosco Youth Movement (DBYM) of the St. John Bosco Parish-Borivali, organized 'an evening with Jesus', on 16 December 2020.

The praise and worship, examen-of-conscience reconciliation service, with the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, was primarily intended to focus on the preparation of hearts and minds for the coming of the Christ. The evening started with a praise and worship session, followed by an introductory talk by DBYM Youth Director Father Renold Lemos, who invited the 40 young participants to spend an evening with the Lord. Handouts provided, helped the young people prepare for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, accompanied by the resident priests.

DBYM member, Sunny Baretto remarked, "Indeed this evening spent with the Lord, rejuvenated my heart."
