Mangalore, February 12: To commemorate the birth centenary of Mother Teresa in the Diocese of Mangalore, the 'White Doves', an NGO, is putting up an impressive light and sound show entitled “Jeevanth Saqnthin” (The Living Saint) at the Agnes Special School grounds here on Sunday, February 13 at 6 pm.
Corrine Rasquinha Founder President, White Doves, told media persons at Press Club here, the Konkani Play “Jeevanth Saqnthin” written and directed by Arthur Rasquinha of Mangalore and has a 70 strong cast of men, women and children drawn from all the parishes of the city.
The play will showcase the life and mission of the “Living Saint” and is scheduled to be staged in Bantwal, Madanthyar, Shirva and Pakshikere parishes on the Sundays of 20th and 27th February, 6th and 13th March respectively, as desired by the Bishop of Mangalore.
Ever since its inception in 1995, the “White Doves” has been endeavoring to give shelter and care to the destitute, the abandoned, sick and the under-privileged class in the society - a work prompted by the biblical message “Whatever you do to the least of my brethren you do it unto me”, she said.
Taking Mother Teresa as their role model, the White Doves have been running two homes for the homeless having over 75 inmates. The play will also serve as a fund-raiser to contribute to this worthy cause.
Corrine Rasquinha, the Founder President of the “White Doves”, has exhorted the members of the public to attend in large numbers to witness this worthy play and to honor the revered memory of Mother Teresa.
Vitus Rasquinha, Founder Trustee, White Doves, Jerald Fernades Manager and Arthur Rasquinha, Director of the Play were present at the press meet.
