Sept 8, 2015: "Today the Virgin is born, tended and formed, and prepared for her role as mother of God who is the universal King of the ages" (St. Andrew of Crete) 

Birthday of our heavenly mother brings celebration and also the feast of new corn.

The faithful, specially the children gathered near the grotto for the blessing of the new corn and offered flowers and walked to the church in procession, as all sang the hymns of praise to Mother Mary. Rev. Fr Ronald D'souza, Director of ICYM and YCS/YSM Mangalore Diocese being the main celebrant gave apt homily highlighting the role of Mary in the salvation of mankind. The Parish Priest Rev. Fr Jesudas D'costa concelebrated the Mass. 

Fr Jesudas D'costa thanked all the donors, Murdoms of the feast and all those who were instrumental to make arrangements for the feast. Sugarcane to all children and families was given which was sponsored by the two of the parishioners. A anonymous donor sponsored sweets to everyone attended mass. Parish Pastoral Council members and donors were honoured by vicar by giving them the new corn. The gifts offered during mass were auctioned to help out the poor families.
