On 28th October Sunday 2018 St. Dominic Church, Ashoknagar celebrated the mission Sunday. Weeks ahead of this, the Ward Gurkars / representatives distributed calendars and envelops to all the families to enable them to contribute their mite for this noble cause and also collected the old mission boxes.

After mass the Parish council had organised sale of various food item like Chicken Biryani, Chicken sukka, Pork bafath, Sorpathel, idlies and apams, tea/coffee etc. Rates of each item were displayed and coupons were sold in advance. The parishioners have responded to purchase the coupons in time and extended their full co-operation and support.

Apart from this, in order to augment the collection, the Parish Council had decided to collect any articles from the parishioners which could be sold in auction on 28.10.2018 after the mass at the church premises. In response to this the parishioners donated items like – home made wine, eggs, plantains, craft items, flowers, attractive rosaries, ash guard and also a pig from the Dominican community.
