Mangaluru, 26 Mar: The family welfare Committee of Our Lady of Milagres parish organized Women’s Day celebrations at Milagres College auditorium, here on Sunday, March 24.

 

Milagres parish priest Fr Valerian D’Souza concelebrated the Thanksgiving Mass at 7.00am.

 

In his homily, Fr D’Souza said, ‘Woman is the true blessing of our community. They are the true faces of love they take a major share and role in spreading this love with family members. This love helped our family to bind in love. Church witnessed many times true love of woman. Today, we address the community as mother church it is the respect we give to woman in the church it’s because this kind of love only a mother can give to her children.’

 

 

The stage programme that was held at College auditorium at 4.00pm was inaugurated by hundreds of women through releasing the balloons into the air.

 

Sr Celestine D’Mello, member of the family welfare Committee welcomed the gathering. Program began with Prayer song sung by Milagres choir and a welcome dance.

 

Addressing the gathering resource person of the day, David Pais said it is very critical woman should understand their rights in the society. Government has given equal rights to woman to live in the society. It is important we should make use of this. Now in India discussions are started to keep 33 percent reservation to woman in the assembly. If this bill passes woman will be more powerful to get their rights. Every Mother should be careful in doing their will. All Will should be registered this will help to keep the track and misuse.  Husband should give the will rights to his wife and after the demise of wife, rights should be transferred to children. Both husband and wife should do the will together so that any miscommunication within the family can be solved when wife reaches the age of 75 she can analyze the children’s nature how good they are in caring and taking the responsibility then she can decide on transfer the property rights to her children. Wife gets 1/3rd of the share of the property and children’s get 2/3rd share of the property. If anyone is working in Gulf, then they should do the will in India and register it here and handover the copy to Gulf government. Reason in Gulf Muslim law is practice hence we need to be careful. We need to be careful in signing the will. Signature should be always difficult to copy. We can always amend the will and cancel the will cost of the will is very small but it will become the powerful tool for the seniors to protect their rights. If any case if children’s not taken care of them then they can go and apply in the tribunal where judge has the power to nullify all property transfer registration which happened earlier and all rights they can get it back.

 

 

Fr Valerian said, ‘Milagrese church has become very famous and powerful because of the woman. Today, we can find ladies taking different roles in the church like ward representative, Gurkars, taking post in various church organisations doing the Sunday service in a effective way sing in the church choir made us famous. He mentioned parish pastoral vice president herself is a role model for others. Today church is alive because of woman their active role in the church and the faith what they spread to others. Woman are true messenger of love they have the strong capability spread this in family and in our society.’

 

Sr Angeline Mathias, Rita Asumptha Pinto, Nancy Menezes and Mrs Doris Lobo felicitated on the same occasion.
