Udupi, 07 Mar 2021: “Elected members of Grama Panchayats should give priority in serving the needy people in the society and thus, become light in the lives of the poor people”, said Bishop of Udupi Most Rev. Dr. Gerald Isaac Lobo during the programme organized by the Catholic Sabha of Udupi Pradesh on Sunday, 7 March 2021 at Mother of Sorrows Church hall to felicitate the Christian contestants and winners in the recently concluded Grama Panchayat elections.

 

Continuing his address, the Bishop further said that service is the chief aim of the Christian community and being the members of the village panchyat provides an opportunity to be the soldiers of Christ in serving the people. Being the members of the panchayat one should not limit his or her service to a particular community but serve everyone equally without any consideration of caste and creed. “When we serve without expecting any reward in return, people in the society acknowledge us for our good work”, said the Bishop.

 

The resource person Janardhan Marvante enlightened the members about the Panchayat Raj and the duties and responsibilities of the members of the panchayat.

 

 

During the programme the members who were elected as presidents and vice-presidents - Mrs. Shaini Crasta, Mrs. Margaret Seema, Sylvester D’Souza, Mrs. Gracy cardoza and Mrs. Winifred D’Souza were honoured. Besides these, all those who had participated in the election and were victorious as well as those who could not win were also felicitated by the Bishop.

 

Fr. Charles Menezes - Parish Priest of the Mother of Sorrows Church, Udupi, Fr. Ferdinand Gonslves - Spiritual Director of the catholic Sabha of Udupi Pradesh, Alwyn Quadros - the immediate past president of the Catholic Sabha, Mrs. Mary D’Souza - future president of the Catholic Sabha, Ronald D’Almeida - vice president and Gerald Rodrigues - treasurer were present for the programme.
