On Sunday, May 25, 2025, the members of Our Lady of Mount Carmel OCDS Community, Margao–Goa, along with their Spiritual Assistant, Rev. Fr. Lancy Mendonca, came together for their annual community picnic at Chrisander, Paroda.

Nestled amidst lush greenery and serenaded by the gentle flow of the river, the resort offered a tranquil escape from the city's hustle and bustle. The serene natural beauty, coupled with well-maintained amenities, created the perfect setting for a day of relaxation and bonding.

This cherished outing was more than just a break from routine — it was a beautiful opportunity to strengthen the bonds of community and deepen the spirit of fellowship. The picnic left everyone with fond memories and renewed hearts, grateful for the gift of togetherness.
