Independence Day celebrated

News & Pics: Mr John Menezes, Moodbidri

Aug. 15: The 65th Indian Independence day celebrated after mass. All gathered before the flag on the church ground for the flag hoisting ceremony.  Mr. Anil Lobo was welcomed to do this honour. He spoke that we all should concentrate on “what we give to the country and not on what the country gives us”.

Let us not ask the country what it gave us in these 65 years of freedom but let us think “What we have given to the country?” Genuine freedom is the freedom to do what we ought and not “To do whatever we want”.  This will make us freedom conscious and show us the way to real freedom.

ICYM organized the flag hoisting ceremony and distributed sweets at the end.
