The day with the Lord \u2013 A spiritual journey began with a reflection on the Stations of the Cross at 7.15am. It was followed with a talk by Fr.

Lunch was served to all the faithful who attended the spiritual day. It was indeed a very enriching spiritual session and an event to rejuvenate our Christian faith. MCCP headed by Dilip Correa as the President of the current year and Goan Community under the leadership of Savio Carvalho and Gayle Arajuo have indeed made a sincere effort to bring together spiritually the Konkani community in Muscat under one roof.
