95 per cent parishioners at Malad church attend weekend mass in black as a gesture of solidarity against the Kathua and Unnao rape cases


The parishioners arrived dressed in black after a message from the parish priest
The recent Kathua and Unnao rape cases that have shaken - and hopefully woken up - the entire country, have found supporters at the St. Jude Church in Malad east. The church, that has around 900 parishioners, saw nearly all attendees who came for various services over the weekend wear black from head to toe, to stand in solidarity with Unnao and Kathua. The idea was the brainchild of parish priest Fr. Warner D'souza, who sent out a message on WhatsApp earlier in the week asking all of his parishioners to support the cause.
