Speaking on the occasion, Sister Anita said, ‘’God’s love is present in every individual but if one attempts to express his love for Him, it increases and plays a dominant role in life. This event has been organised to give a chance to individuals to enunciate their sense of belongingness for God.’’ She said that a similar event would be organised at Sukhna Lake for the tourists on February 13.
