Dr. Aloysius Paul D'Souza gave his official visit to Holy Rosary Church, Kundapur today.  He said that we should protect importance of our family life our youth should get right guidance in this regard and this is very important issue which we should practice give them live example.  Love, faith and justice are the important issues which should be implemented by family members.  Trust between husband and wife, love between parents and kids and sacrifice is deteriorating currently.  Western influence is effecting our regular family life and destroying its values.  To stop this bad influence, this is the right time to think about it said bishop in his message to parishioners.
