Earlier, Maharashtra Konkan Association spiritual director Fr Lancy Saldanha offered the Thanksgiving Mass on the occasion.
 
Maharashtra Konkan Association founder president Leo Fernandes Jerimeri presided the annual general meeting.
 
Fr Lancy in his message said that people would not be satisfied if one serves in his lifetime of a century.  It should not discourage those engaged in social welfare activities instead take the criticisms in good spirit.  The selfless service will have its rewards, said Fr Lancy.

The social welfare service has become a thankless job that discourages the people to be associated with organizations.  Meanwhile, Maharashtra Konkan Association is surging ahead with unity of all members, said Fernandes.
