Congratulations ICYM, Belle. In that good old days, we can see so many medals, Victory cups, shields errected in the front wall of the church office. That was the heritage of Boliye. Now in the recent years, I am sad to say, all of the were disappiared in the name of Beautification. Winning a compitition is really a big task. But pls make a separate place like a showcase/ showroom to keep all the winning Tropies, So that our younger generation can inspire by looking at them. Welldone ICYM Boliye. Congratulations to all Belleans. | |

Congratulations for winning second place in singing competition. This time you won second place, work harder to secure first place next year. Belle parish is blessed with a lot of talent, only need of the hour is to identify the talent and support it until it flourishes. Church choir is the right place to groom such young talent. ICYM can support the initiative as it will help them immensely in their career. I am sure the hard work put by the parish priests and all members will pay rich dividends. Train the kids and young ones so that Belle parish will get many more such awards in the future. All the best. |
