    Thanksgiving Service – 30th December 2022

    Since early December, Matharpacady Village wore a festive look  with all the bylanes decorated with twinkle lights, and stars as we got ready for Christmas. “Thanksgiving Day” was a very special day on Friday night, 30th December 2022. This annual service, in front of the Holy Cross Oratory, was held after a gap of three years due to the pandemic. Residents and well wishers gathered together to thank the Lord for His innumerable blessings & mercies during the last three years, and indeed we do have a lot to be thankful for.   A well compiled Service saw the Opening Carol sung beautifully by a small Choir. A very inspiring liturgy put together saw very tight and prayerful execution by the small organising team.

    Fr. Stephen of the Blessed Sacrament Fathers graced the occasion and gave the final blessing.

    Refreshments and soft drinks were served to all after the service.

    The residents and well wishers fondly bide their “Adieus and thanked one and all for the lovely function organised and for the good time they had during the Christmas Season in Matharpacady Village.

    May the Spirit of this season bring Joy, Hope and Love to the hearts of many – Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

    My Own Mazagon

    Dear Friends,

    This is a book on the history of Mazagon, authored by Capt Ramesh Babu of Mazagon Dock. It brings out the lost history of this precinct, which was once the richest island in the archipelago and the most sought after destination in Bombay.  Titled ‘My own Mazagon’, the book has an entire chapter on Matharpacady and many passages on Rosary Church, St. Isabel’s School and other heritage structures related to Matharpacady and celebrated personalities who lived here. The author in fact makes a plea in his book to preserve the heritage  of our settlement.

    As a special gesture,  Capt Ramesh Babu has arranged with his publisher to offer a discount on the book to the Matharpacady community.
