on 2010/6/27 8:10:45 (173 reads)

A condolence meet followed by special Requiem Mass to pay tributes to the victims of the plane crash in Mangalore Bajpe Airport was held on June 05, 2010 at Sts. Martha & Mary Church, Mississauga, organized by the Mangalorean Association of Canada (MAC). A large crowd gathered to pay homage to the fellow brethren who suffered a tremendous tragedy to express their anguish and sympathize with their families left behind.

The condolence meeting began with a brief but heart-rendering narration of the incident by Leo Rego. Fr. Edwin D'Souza, the Parish Priest and Spiritual Director, offered a special prayer for the repose of the departed souls in the tragedy. A prayer was also offered for the members of the families left behind for strength and comfort. A placard printed with the names of all the victims was placed on the alter decorated with flowers and lit-up candles. The choir was led by Merlyn Rodrigues.

After the special memorial service, Requiem Mass in Konkani was offered for the departed souls by Fr. Edwin D'Souza.

On behalf of the Association, Leo Rego thanked Fr. Edwin and all those who attended the memorial service.
