On the 24th of July 2018, the ADMA Group was inaugurated. We started at 6.00 p.m. with a prayer and a hymn to Our Lady. Then Sr. Catherine Pereira the animator of Maria Bhavan gave them the introductory talk on being an ADMA member, thus making them aware that they now belong to the Salesian Family. She urged them to invite other members of their family and from the neighbourhood. She exhorted that all have great confidence in Mary and to be like Mary kind, gentle, helpful and generous.
After this, the members had the Association Medal ceremony. The Blessed Medal was stitched to the blue satin ribbon and was given to them with much devotion and respect. Then the Rosary was recited in the front of the picture of Mary Help of Christians that was artistically decorated. They promised to bring one member each by the 24th of October 2018. They were reminded to come for Mass on the 5thAugust, the feast of the Assumption of Our Lady
The members were offered snacks and each of them devoutly kissed the picture of Mary as they left to their homes.
