In a big number (450), the parishioners gathered in front of the church at 7.00pm for the ceremony of ‘blessing of the fire’. The Pascal candle was lit from the new fire and was taken into the church in a procession. In his preaching Rev.Fr.Francis Rodrigues said: Jesus is raised from the dead, he will never die; He is the light of the world. Holy water too was blessed during the Mass. After the Mass, coffee and refreshments were served to all.

For today and for whole Holy week’s ceremony flowers were sponcered by Ms.Saritha D’Costa (Hybrid flowers) and Ms.Suman Fernandes (Suman fancy).
