The idea of preparing bottle grotto was inscribed in the minds of seminarians by Fr Anil Ivan Fernandes, Rector of Gladsom Home. \u201cYou start making of the grotto with the glass bottles even though we don\u2019t have a statue of Mother Mary. Let\u2019s pray and we will get it\u201d,\u00a0 Fr Anil said. As a surprise and the miraculous intervention of Mother Mary, there were two statues of Mother Mary sponsored\u00a0 before the feast of nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

As a step forward Br Joel, Regent of the house planned for it systematically and organized the student seminarians to actualise the idea. \u201cWe will have a great satisfaction and contentment when we see our Mother adorning the grotto with her gracious presence,\u201d Br said.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The plan was awesome but realizing it was not an easy job. The dedication and commitment of the students converted this arduous task into a reality. This grotto was erected within a span of three weeks. The grotto consists of 324 green glass bottles. The bottles are compiled together using string and threads. The expenses of the grotto came up to Rs 15000. The grotto\u00a0 and the statue of Immaculate Conception are sponsored by Mr Arun D Souza (Fermai). The statue of Maria Bombino for the novena to the Blessed Virgin Mary was sponsored by Mr\u00a0 Santhosh and Mrs Rosina Montheiro, Monkeystand.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

It is said creativity doesn\u2019t wait for that perfect moment; it fashions its perfect moments out of ordinary ones. Gladsom students converted ordinary glass bottles into a creative grotto. Mother Mary will be venerated in this grotto in the upcoming days.<\/span><\/p>

This creative act gives a call for future seminarians to think out of the box.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
