Feast of Father Poveda- 28th July 2009
















With hearts full of joy and thanksgiving to God, for this wonderful gift of Fr. Poveda, the entire Teresian Association family in Pune- ACIT, Primary Association, Pre ACIT, Formation Group, Youth Group, families and friends came together to celebrate the Holy Eucharist at St. Xavier's Church in Pune on the 28th of July. Fr. Andrew, Vice Principal of St. Vincent's School in his homily spoke of the vocation being a challenge and that our faith must compel us to respond to the present day needs. At the start of the Eucharist, he meaningfully outlined the life of Poveda for the entire parish congregation.

Our youth group, sang at the Mass and the recessional hymn was one dedicated to Fr. Poveda written by Agosh Librea and composed by Hazel Fernandes.

This big family then proceeded to the TA house after Mass. With many new faces and a mixture of all the groups, everyone introduced themselves and then settled themselves down for a quiz on Father Poveda and the Association. For some it was a revision of the information they already had, for others it was new insight!

The evening came to a completion with a hearty 'Mutton Biryani'. Prayers, chats, laughs, whispers and nibbles later, the evening came to a celebrative end.
