2nd day of the Novena of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Saturday 31st August 2013: The mass started at 6.45 a.m. with many children and adults attending the novena. Children brought colorful flowers in baskets, plates and bowls to honour Mary.

Thought for the day: Mary teaches us to worship God with family

Message: The Family members should pray together and live in Faith

Special Intention: Pray for those working in foreign countries

“Families that pray together stay together” – Praying together and worshiping(praising) God for His love for us keeps us close to God and our families. Let us remember to pray together daily specially the rosary which is the best family prayer.  Today let us specially pray for those are away in foreign countries earning and learning to support their families. They are sacrificing their happiness of family love and togetherness.  May mother Mary give them the strength to bear the loneliness with patience and keep them in strong bonds with their families.

After the mass “flower offering ceremony” took place on the church ground followed by Novena Prayer.  Sweets were distributed to all present for the novena.
