It is Christmas time: at DBYAC, Ennore it is a time of Celebration and Fellowship. It is a time of expressing and living the solidarity of the clergy and religious of the Ennore area.
The annual feature of Christmas get-together of the parish priests & religious of the neighbourhood was held on saturday, 16th December 2011 in our campus. Parish priests of Eranavur, Bharathiyar Nagar and Tiruvotriyur were the clergy along with sisters from different congregations as varied as our Salesian Sisters (FMA), Sisters of Charity, FSJ sisters, JMJ sisters, SMA sisters, Seva Missionary sisters and Sisters of Nava Jeevan Community.
The hall was beautifully decorated and a grand crib was created by our young men of the centre, Muthu, Rajesh and Vellankanni. It formed a fitting background to the celebrations of the evening.
Fr. Felix began the proceedings with a well-thought and meaningful prayer service. The highlight was placing the different protaganists of the crib by the religious themselves. Child Jesus took centre-stage and was rightly honoured and felicitated by all gathered by singing carols in Tamil, English, Hindi and Malayalam.
A time of fun and games followed during which time different communities sang carols, played some fun games and enjoyed themselves.
And then followed the Agape Meal - food brought by different communities were shared among each other.
Finally, everyone wished Merry Christmas, prayed together one last time and left for their respective communities promising to be back for the same next year.
