Fr Kenneth Crasta the principal of St Joseph ITI,  Jeppu offered Holy Mass on the eighth day of the novena. Fr Crasta in his homily said that Lord Jesus came into this world from heaven carrying the Good News. The Good News that God our Father loves us and he forgives us. This Good News has to reach all over. As per the call given by Jesus St Anthony preached the Good News to the people of his time. Accordingly, we too must become the sharers of Good News in our time and our locality.

Fr Onil D’Souza, the Director of the Ashram conducted the novena. Sisters from St Agnes College Bendore helped the congregation to participate in the devotion.
