I am glad to attend the annual day of Catholic Sabha’s Bondel unit. The co-operation and understanding between each other has helped you to complete fruitful 20 years. It should continue in the upcoming years and become a model unit for others. I congratulate the director and all office bearers of the unit and wish them fruitful years ahead. “

So I request youths to join this association in large numbers. It will make our association as well as parish stronger,“
