On 2nd October 2024, the Inter Religious Dialogue Cell of Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Orlem, Malad West commemorated the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi by organizing a Peace March – Shanti Yatra.
Under the unstinted guidance of Fr. Aniceto Pereira - the Parish Priest, and Fr. Ronny Vaz, the march received a resounding participation from the parishioners and residents - a total of 300 people participated. This march was led by 150 students of St. Anne’s High School, the principal and school teachers.
The Chief Guest & speaker Dr. Jalindar Adsule, a retired principal of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar College and a practicing lawyer Mumbai High Court shared pearls of wisdom. “No Religion teaches hate”. ‘Be the change you want to see in the world’ and ‘Children are the potential seeds for a peaceful, harmonious world of tomorrow’, was the resonating message of the Peace March. As Fr Ronny Vaz said, ‘Speak only if necessary, change is a silent process’.
