The feast of St. Thomas More Patron Saint of Catholic Lawyers’ Guild Mumbai (CLGM) was celebrated on 22nd June, 2019 at Our Lady of Salvation Church Hall, Dadar. CLGM President Mr. Walter Lewis welcomed members and guests for the celebration.
The day’s celebration started with the 7th Annual General Body Meeting of CLGM.
AGM was followed by the talk on “Legal Dimensions of Consent” by Supreme Court Advocate Mr. N.K. Dhondy. Mr. Dhondy explained the topic with various case laws and examples. He explained the importance of consent in general and in legal sense and linked the topic with scripture where we can find dimensions of consent in the Bible which is applicable in our day to day life.
The Holy Eucharist was celebrated by His Lordship Allwyn D’Silva and Fr. Glasten Gonsalves, the spiritual director of the Guild. Bishop Allwyn in his homily reminded us that the life of St. Thomas More is relevant today and example for all of us. St. Thomas More stood for truth and was killed. Today we as advocates are called to stand for truth and justice and fight for it. Let us strive to be true followers of St. Thomas More keeping God as centre of our lives.
Vice President of CLGM Ms. Savina Crasto thanked everyone present for the celebration. The day was concluded with a fellowship lunch.
