2026 MCA Picnic

Coastal Spice & Summer Slice

On behalf of the Mangalorean Catholic Association, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to each and every one of you who joined us for our Annual Picnic.

What a truly wonderful day it was! Seeing so many members and families come together to celebrate friendship, fun, and our shared Mangalorean spirit made the event incredibly special.
The laughter, energy, and enthusiasm throughout the day created memories that we will cherish for a long time.

It was heartwarming to watch everyone reconnect with old friends, make new friends, share stories, and enjoy meaningful conversations. One of the greatest joys of our association is the opportunity to strengthen the bonds that make our community feel like family, and this picnic was a beautiful reflection of that.

The fun-filled games and activities brought smiles, excitement, and plenty of friendly competition. From the youngest participants to the young-at-heart adults, everyone joined in with incredible enthusiasm, making the event lively, engaging, and memorable. The cheers, laughter, and team spirit truly captured the essence of what MCA is all about.

Of course, no gathering is complete without great food, and we were delighted to see everyone enjoying the delicious and sumptuous feast of South Indian vegetarian tiffin prepared by Woodland Caterers. The authentic flavors, variety of dishes, and thoughtfully prepared meals were thoroughly enjoyed by all. Sharing this wonderful meal together added to the warmth and joy of the day, bringing families and friends together around the table in true community spirit.

A very special note of appreciation goes to our dedicated Committee Members and selflessly helping volunteers at the Venue. Your hard work behind the scenes, countless hours of planning, coordination, preparation, setup, execution, and cleanup made this event possible. Your commitment, teamwork, and willingness to serve our community are truly inspiring. Events like these do not happen by chance—they are the result of the dedication and passion of individuals who work tirelessly to create memorable experiences for everyone.

To every member who attended, participated, volunteered, cheered, played, laughed, and contributed to the wonderful atmosphere—thank you. Your presence is what transforms an event into a celebration and a gathering into a family reunion.

As we reflect on this successful picnic, we are reminded of how fortunate we are to be part of such a vibrant, caring, and supportive community. We look forward to creating many more beautiful memories together in the future.

Thank you once again for making this year's Annual Picnic such an outstanding success. We hope you returned home with happy memories, renewed friendships, and a smile on your face.

With sincere gratitude and warm regards,

President Flavie Rebello on behalf of the Mangalorean Catholic Association Committee
