The Senior Citizen’s Association is not very old
having been founded in 1997. None of its members are
decrepit or senile. Sixty is the age of admission.
During many of the functions organized, they participate
in quizzes and games that not only allows gives them
a mental and physical workout, but also helps them bond
socially with each other.
Recently around one hundred members went on picnic to
Lonavla. We also have spiritual exercises that help
foster closeness to each other and God; we make a pilgrimage
to the Mount.
We hold memorial
masses for those who have left our midst and gather
remembrance card to keep their memory alive.
When the association was established there were fifty
members on the rolls; today we have around three hundred.
They are always eager to take part in activities, full
of spirit bubbling with joy. It is quite evident that
while the flesh ages, the spirit remains young, keeping
life worth living.
Those interested in joining our association may obtain
forms from the Reception desk at the Parish office.
