On the occasion of Republic Day, the Indian Catholic Youth Movement (ICYM) members of Sacred Heart Church, Basrikatte, in collaboration with Holy Cross Hospital, Chikmagalur, and the Pastoral Care for the Differently Abled Commission, organized a noble initiative: a Blood Donation Camp and a Free Health Check-up for the local community.

Rev. Fr. Santhosh Kumar, the Parish Priest of Basrikatte, inspired and encouraged the public to actively participate in this meaningful cause. The event received tremendous support from the Parish Council members of Basrikatte, the local community, and Gram Panchayat members, who joined hands to ensure the success of this health campaign.

This initiative was a significant step toward promoting health awareness and community welfare while fostering a spirit of unity and service among the people.
