On 14th August 2021, the Sindhudurg Diocesan Prison Ministry Commission organised a special celebration on the feast of St Maximilian Kolbe. Every year, the feast is celebrated by the Diocesan Prison Ministry Commission, however, this year, owing to the pandemic, the feast was celebrated with a very limited crowd.
Bishop Alwyn Barreto was the main celebrant for the mass and distributed prizes for the competition, which was held in honour of this day.
