It was a joyous day for the Fransalian family in Malawi, as we gathered together to celebrate the feast of St. Francis de Sales at Livingstonia, our first Mission in Malawi. The day started with celebration of cooking Pongal (Fransalian Pongal). Fr. Sebastian Robert exhorted us in his sharing to have filial adherence to the ‘Fransalian Zeal’, taking inspiration from St. Francis De Sales to bear witness to the Mission of Jesus.

We gathered in the evening to celebrate the festive Mass along with good number of Parishioners. Fr. S. Susairaj was the main celebrant and Fr. Charles Berin preached the homily highlighting the spirituality of our Heavenly patron. The faithful acknowledged and appreciated the MSFS fathers. It was a happy day, as we all have participated in the celebrations “FRANSALIAN FAMILY”. Fr. Anantha Raj along with the parish council organized the whole celebration very well.
