'Naaikr Makkal', a WhatsApp group with 39 like minded adult men from and around Barkur was the center of attraction during the midnight Christmas mass at Barkur St.Peter Church, yesterday. The members were the Pirjenths of feast's high mass this year. The whole liturgy like the introduction, the readings, the psalm, the prayers of the faithful were read by the members. Almost all the members were part of the huge offertory procession. On behalf of the group Mr.Johnson Martis received the Pirjenth's candle by the Vicar Philip Neri Aranha. Vicar, in his announcement, appreciated group's unique thinking of sponsoring the Christmas Mass and adviced the mass gathering to follow this good deed. Over 850 devotees were served by Coffee and Samosas by the NM Group. To enhance the joy crackers were bursted, which made the gathering very happy.
