Holy Rosary / Holy Mass in Honour of Our Lady
Holy Rosary / Holy Mass in Honour of Our Lady

It was truly beautiful to see so many of you gathered last Saturday for the Holy Rosary, the lighting of candles and the Holy Mass in honour of Our Lady. The prayerful atmosphere, deep devotion and spirit of togetherness made the celebration truly meaningful. Since then, I have received many encouraging comments from parishioners. Several people shared how deeply moved they were as we prayed the Rosary together as one parish family and came forward to light candles in loving devotion to our Blessed Mother. These moments of prayer and reflection reminded us of the strength of our faith, the warmth of our community and the unity we share as a parish family. May the example of our Blessed Mother continue to inspire us to grow in faith, hope and love. May Our Lady watch over our parish and keep all our families in her loving care. Father Inna
