Mangalore, Aug 1: The nine-day novena as part of the annual feast at St Lawrence Church, Bondel began here on Friday August 1.

The ceremony was inaugurated by Mangalore North MLA Mohiuddin Bava by hoisting the flag of St Lawrence, after which he lit the traditional lamp in the presence of other dignitaries.

Addressing the gathering, Bava said that he was proud of Christian community that has contributed in a large scale towards the growth of education in Manglore.

He added that he has lot of respect for St Lawrence and hence he cancelled another function which he wanted to attend at the same time. He said that Christians need to utilize the government education funds to grow to a greater extent.

Corporator Kavita Sanil also spoke on the occasion.

Chancellor of Mangalore diocese Henry Sequeira, parish priest Fr Andrew D'Souza, assistant parish priest Fr Jaison Monis and vice-president of St Lawrence Church Bondel Henbert Pinto, secretary Wlfred Alvares and others were present.

The novena will be held at 11 am followed by lunch every day till August 9.

    @ Deepak Kumar,

    You have only made it evident of your ignorance about Muslim/Christian brotherhood.

    Assuming you are a Hindu, you may not like the idea of Bawa's presence at Bondel church.

    I could give you so many examples like the one i am giving you to increase your knowledge on the subject.

    Pls google nuseibehfamily


    Don't forget to find more about Jesus in the Muslim Quran itself.

    I am not here to justify whether Bawa should or shouldn't inaugurate a Christian novena, which I believe is left to the Bondel church goers to decide.

    Ha ha ha .. Joke of the century... A muslim inaugurating a Catholic Novena by lighting deepa...Does one need to say anything at all ??
    With Due respect to everyone,i believe that a Catholic priest should have inaugurated the Novena which is considered as Holy.
    Does it make sense if a catholic priest slaughters a goat by Halal on Bakrid.. or a mukri immersing Ganesha on Ganesh Chaturdi...
    People will do anything to please the Politicians and vice versa..

    Do we really need a politician to inaugurate novena? Don't we have anybody who really works for people irrespective of any religion? I don't think it's good idea to invite politicians including Oscar Fernandes for our religious functions. If at all you want to call, you could have called our Mangalore MP as well.

    I am not criticizing the organizing committee of Bondel church, but next time kindly give due attention towards the Pole and the Rope you have used to hoist your Patron Saints Flag (Bondher), Let us honor our Deity by giving him our utmost best.
    As you called in your MLA, same time you should have invited all your People's representatives right from the Panchayat Members or Corporators, Other Community Leaders, even your Member of Parliament. That gesture of yours should have widely appreciated and followed by others. All the best!!!

    Strange things happen in Mangalore. While there is violence, riots, hatred on one side, these inter religious gatherings are truly encouraging.

    Kudos to you Mr. Bava on your inaugurating the Novena at The Bondel Church. You are a role model of a politician. You believe in brotherhood as children of the same mother earth.
