Bible Exhibition

The bible exhibition organised at Grace Church hall Margao, has been extended up to March 30 due to public demand.

The descriptive events of both testaments, parables, the public ministry of Christ has been simplified through pictures, models and charts which are valuable  inputs to those doing their formative studies in seminaries, for the religious as well as the lay faithful.

Simultaneously, there is a power point and movies shown of major biblical events. There are also rare Catholic books on display.

It would be an excellent idea if each parish organises this particular exhibition so the families can strengthen  their faith and understand more about the truth which has been painstakingly put together in a nice descriptive manner.

The parishioners of Betalbatim gathered in huge numbers to witness the first 7 stations of the cross. It was a proud moment for the whole village to see the talented betparkars act , sing to the glory of God.
Listening to the melodious voice of Cielda Pereira , the darling of the crowd was the icing on the cake.
Sharing some glimpses .

This scene depicts the present day homes that fail to live on the powerful value of 
" THE FAMILY THAT PRAYS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER "

In this scene the daughter is a God fearing child contributing in the Church activities but the son goes astray enslaved in the social evils of betting on bull fights and gambling. The father steps in and confronts the man who comes to collect his gambling money and warns him about his evil doings of encouraging the young innocent boys gamble. The mother realizes her role as a upright mother that could save her son from the present day evils.


A proud mother joins Ceilda to sing along with the "VOICE  OF GOA"

Jesus carries his cross

In this scene the parents stop their daughter from leaving her husband and son due to minor misunderstandings in the family. They remind their daughter that once she is married she cannot leave her husbands house. The young boy is left heart broken to see his grand mother offering to live the house so that peace prevails and decides to go with her. 

Jesus falls the first time
