FEAST OF ST. MARIA DOMENICA MAZZARELLO, AUXILIUM CENTRE, VELIM

  With immense joy and love, the Auxilium Centre, Velim celebrated the feast of our beloved Foundress, St. Maria Domenica Mazzarello, on 22nd July 2025.
It was both a privilege and a blessing to mark this special occasion in the presence of the Self-Help Group (SHG) women and members of the Association of Mary Help of Christians (ADMA) and our Parishioners whose active participation added grace and meaning to the celebration.     

 The Celebration began with the Holy Eucharist, solemnly presided over by Fr. Warren Periera, Assistant Parish Priest of St. Francis Xavier Church, Velim. In his homily, Fr. Warren expressed heartfelt gratitude to the community for faithfully continuing the mission of St. Mary Mazzarello, especially through their dedicated service to young people in the mission of the community and involvement in the parish.     

  The gathering concluded with a vote of thanks delivered by Sr. Perpetual Ferrao, followed by the serving of refreshments. It was a truly enriching experience that strengthened the bonds within our Salesian family and renewed our commitment to walk in the footsteps of our Foundress.

We thank God for the gift of St. Mary Mazzarello and seek her intercession as we continue our mission of love, service, and education — especially among the young and the poor.

“Let us do all we can for the love of God, and we shall do much.” – St. Mary Mazzarello
