St. Sebastian Church, Aquem’s ‘Kantaram Lharam’ creates buzz with solo and duet singing competition

Many things come and dis- appear. Also some things come and stay on but we have observed that very few things come and create an instant impact with strong life and long memories. One of such things or events is the “Kantaram Lharam”, a solo and duet singing competition organised by the St. Sebastian Church, Aquem.

In the initial year, this competition was held on 27th November 2022 and was organised by the Parish Pastoral council of the church, for parishioners from different parishes in and around Margao Deanery and a few other selected parishes. A lot of help and encouragement from the Priests in these parishes enabled the organisers to rope in around 50 contestants, out of which 22 for solo singing and 6 for duet singing, got through the audition round and qualified for the finals. The organizers, having no past experience in organising such an event, came out in flying colours earning accolades from a lot of people. In fact a concept of singing competition in our town was instantly created. Read more

The story of Our Lady of Lourdes revolves around a young peasant girl named Bernadette Soubirous, who, in 1858, experienced apparitions of the Virgin Mary in the town of Lourdes, France. These apparitions occurred a total of 18 times, with the Virgin Mary revealing herself as the Immaculate Conception.

During one of these encounters, Our Lady directed Bernadette to dig a spring, which later became known for its purported healing properties. The faithful and the afflicted began visiting this site, seeking solace, healing, and spiritual guidance. Over time, numerous miraculous healings were reported by those who bathed in or drank the waters of the spring, leading to Lourdes becoming a pilgrimage site for millions seeking physical and spiritual healing.

Mother Teresa was a citizen of the whole world because she genuinely aspired to help people everywhere.  She was a role model of Charity, Compassion, Holiness and Selfless Service. 

Mother Teresa felt that her fight would have to be against poverty, disease and ignorance. She started to serve poor and helpless people. In 1948, Mother Teresa felt compelled to leave the convent. She devoted herself exclusively to working with the poor in the slums of Calcutta. Mother Teresa went regularly with food and medicine and started teaching the slum children. Mother Teresa replaced her traditional Loreto habit with a simple white cotton sari decorated with a blur line when she started venturing in the slums.  Read more
