He further said that the Holi holds even more meaning this year. As we reach the end of a 2nd pandemic year, we can be thankful for the many things that have sustained us -our family, community, and faith.

"Now, after being apart for so long, these celebrations bring us together in a spirit of unity and friendship, and inspiring hope for this future," the statement further read.
