On 12^th November 2016, Auxilium convent Barasat celebrated the Community Day after a month preparation with the theme “The family that grows in Communion, Joy, Mercy and Love. This memorable day was prepared with great love offering prayers and practices like finding the good qualities of each person writing it and presenting it to them on the feast day. The celebration began with a well prepared vigil service.  At the end of the vigil service every one thanked each other for their contribution in building up community communion.

On 13^th the community spent quality time together in the company of boarders, teachers, workers, and house staff by praying, sharing the meals cooked by the workers, animating and participating in various games, exchanging of gifts etc.  The celebrations came to an end with the well prepared Eucharistic celebration. Rev. Fr. K.T. Thomas SDB concelebrated the mass with Fr. Abraham SDB. During his homely he emphasised the need to practice the three magical words given to us by Pope Francis   please, excuse me and thank you in order to build community communion. The boarders put up a meaningful and beautiful programme on this occasion in the form of songs, skit, comic etc. The day will remain memorable for all.
