The Jubilee of the Stigmata of St. Francis was inaugurated on March 22, 2024, marking the last Friday of the Lenten Season. Br. Chinna, the Guardian, offered the Mass and presided over the liturgy. We were honoured to welcome FMM sisters, alongside our neighbouring Catechist Sisters of St. Ann (CSA) and faithful gathered for the occasion.
The liturgy was meticulously organized by the Parish community, with the assistance of youth and choir members. The theme of the Jubilee, "New Life from the Wounds," was explained through the homily delivered by Br. Praveen D’ Souza, the Parish Priest.
As part of the Jubilee observance, special reflections and recitations of the Jubilee prayer will be held every Friday. The liturgy commenced with readings from the life of St. Francis, followed by the procession of the Damiano Cross and the unveiling of the Jubilee Logo in the church. The event concluded with a sumptuous meal for all participants.
– Br. Praveen D’ Souza, Parish Priest
