NEWS LETTER – June 2006
DearDurgaTemple Devotees and Friends,
First of all I would like to welcome you to your Temple where with your support and efforts we were able to achieve the goal of building DurgaTemple in such a short time. Durga Murti Sthapana Ceremony was done this week (June 7th to 9th) and on Saturday June 10, Mrs. Shama Chopra will perform MATA KI CHOKI with her group from Montreal.
The state of DurgaTemple remains very good. We have made significant progress in almost all areas of operations resulting in improved religious services and cultural activities. Renovations are in progress and other Murties will be establishing in coming months. We need your support to complete renovations and to payoff the debt on the Mandir
