Good morning everyone. This is an important message to all the parishioners of our Lady of Health Church, Shirva. As per the election code of conduct and D.Cs instructions, we won’t be able to have the Maundy Thursday Ceremonies in the open air. Hence we will be having the Maundy Thursday Ceremonies inside the Church starting at 6.30 pm. We will be arranging additional chairs in the portico and the area outside the front portico. All will be accommodated. Please attend the service in large numbers. The parking of our vehicles on Thursday would be in St Marys college grounds and not on Don Bosco School grounds. Please inform one another. I request our Gurkars to communicate this message to as many as possible. Thank you very much and wish you a fruitful Holy Week.
