Dec 19, 2022

Since two years the Christmas celebration were muted and within the four walls of the campus. This year the Christmas celebrations at Father Muller throws its doors open again for its employees and the public to share in the festivities of Christmas. 

The Father Muller Charitable Institutions, a Minority Institutions run by the Diocese of Mangalore has celebrated the Christmastide with prayers, community sharing and programmes galore. With the  FMCI in its 142 years of service the Institutions has not looked into its pockets for the benefit of the patients. This Christmas too the Director FMCI Rev. Fr Richard Aloysius Coelho envisaged a gathering to bring in hope and smiles. 

The event with Christmas carols and lights welcomed Rajyogini Brahma Kumari Sister Vishweshwari, Incharge, Brahma Kumaris, Mangalore, who with he simplistic demeanor and ear to ear smile blessed the gathering with her presence. She has been a voice of harmony and peace with the quest to help people on spiritual and mental distress through the organization she represents.

The prayer song  was sung by the students of the Father Muller School and College of Nursing followed by the  welcome by Administrator of Father Muller Homeopathic Medical College Hospital, Rev. Fr Roshan Crasta. His welcome embraced everyone and also put a light on the life of the chief guest. 
 
The release of Christmas bulletin  & calendars was done by the dignitaries with flares and uniqueness. The cutting of the Christmas Cake was and spreading of the sweetness of the season through cakes was done. 

Christmas message of self realisation and self consciousness made the gathered realise the true answer to the question 'Who are you?'. She conducted a short self emerssive yoga session making a point to put in ONE GOD'S CHILDREN'. Her message was clear the Birth of Christ as the Saviour is reflected in all texts and thus all are God's children.

Director FMCI focused on the true essence of Christmas to be celebrated with love and compassion. The vileness, hatred, spitefulness and inhumane behaviour has increased. We should make it a point to be for others and be a part of a cultured, civilized world. Then automatically the true meaning of peace which Christmas envisages will come true.
