Mangalore, 12 Jan 2012: In view of the Annual Feast of Infant Jesus (to be celebrated on Jan 14), Carmelites at the Infant Jesus Shrine, Bikarnakatte, organized a Blood Donation Camp on Jan. 12th, 2012 in collaboration with Fr. Muller’s Charitable Institutions. The camp commenced at 9 am and closed at 1 pm. The response of the people was unexpectedly good.

 

 

There were many in waiting in line to donate blood from the morning itself. By noon, more 100 people came forward to donate blood and about 80 units of blood were already collected.

 

We thank the Lord for the generosity of these people by which so many lives can be saved. A word of thanks to the medical staff too, for their untiring commitment. May Infant Jesus bless them all abundantly.
