St. Vincent Pallotti Community College students entertained the crowd with various entertainment programmes. The chief guests of the Programme appreciated our efforts in serving the sick especially those who are most neglected in the society. At the end of the celebration, all enjoyed the delicious meal. We take this opportunity to thank all our benefactors specially “ Heart of Jesus “ Province, Germany for their continued support and help. Overall, it was a celebration which reminded the true meaning of Christmas, that is to see Child Jesus not only in the beautifully decorated crib, but also in the sick and the most marginalized sections of society.
