Media Release
Dubai, 26 May 2010: On Saturday, 22 May 2010 early morning , it was shocking to hear about the tragic air crash of Air India Express Flight IX-812, 737-800 Boeing, a Mangalore flight from Dubai carrying 160 passengers and 6 crew members killing 158 people on board.
In the history of Mangalore Aviation Sector, it was painful to handle such a mammoth loss of lives through this tragic circumstance. The sad images of burnt victims and the wailing bereaved families and friends will be etched in our minds for many more days and years to come. What about the families of the loved ones who perished ?
In memory of all those who perished in this air tragedy St. Mary’s Konkan Community (SMKC) Dubai has made arrangements for Requiem Masses in St. Mary’s Church, Dubia on Thursday, 27 May 2010 at 8 pm in Konkani and on Tuesday, 1 June 2010 at 7 pm in English.
The Main Coordinator of SMKC, Jennifer Agnes Mascarenhas has made appeal to all the members of the SMKC to join together for the Requiem Mass and to pray for all the departed souls to rest in peace, condole the families and friends of the departed and also to pray for every one so that while on earth each one would realize that Life is not what one thinks and craves for but what God would like each one to do. While on earth, one can accumulate wealth and fame but within a few seconds everything can vanish. All that one carries with him or her is the good deeds and thoughts to be placed in front of God. While on this earth man aims for power, greed and money, But finally only Truth triumphs.
