A 'praise and worship' Christmas recollection focused on 'આગમન' [the coming of Christ Jesus], was was attended by 93 parishioners of the MuktiDayini Mata parish at Don Bosco Youth Hostel, Fatehpura-Chhotaudepur, animated by Father Arockiam and his team from Ahmedabad, on 19 December 2020, from 5 pm to 6 pm and continued on 20 December 2020, from 9 am to 12 noon.

Father Arockiam, in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, spoke about loving and thanking God for everything, referring to St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians 5:20 - "giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." The interesting reflection combined with charismatic singing created an ambience of prayer and meditation. The climax of the recollection was the Holy Eucharist which concluded the recollection. A fellowship lunch after the Eucharist, brought the Christmas recollection to a close.
