The catholic faithfuls today went to celebrate the holy mass at their various parishes and outstations with a lot of expectations in the new year.
In the holy family Kanamkemer parish, the parish priest who also celebrated the mass Fr. John O 'Callaghan advised the faithfuls to keep the unity and love of Christ in their hearts and in the community at large. In his welcoming remarks the priest showed great concern for all that is happening in the parish especially in the institutions run by the Ursuline sisters and advised the Christians to remain calm as the situation in the area is being investigated. As per now the Dispensary is still closed until further notice.
Elsewhere, In the Risen Christ Nakwamekwei parish , the parish priest Fr. Raphael Cephalo challenged the Christian family in the parish to look unto the lord as there source of light in everything they partake in their lives.
In his homily Fr. Cepalo gave the Christians an example of Jesus praying in the Gethsemane calling the heavenly father to take the cup that was a head of him if it was by his will. The parish priest said that just as Jesus looked above for strength Christians should also look unto the father for the Spiritual nourishment in there day to day lives.
At St. Michael's Catholic church Napetet, Najakasikiria small Christian community and Napetet youth group entertained the faithfuls with their lively hymns in the mass. In his homily Fr. Francis Teo encouraged the Christians to live exemplary holy lives if they want to follow the example of Christ and pray for the missionary work in our Diocese.
He gave an example of Jesus who encouraged people to light their lamps and put them on the table for all to see. He also encouraged Christians to live in love, peace and in harmony in the society.
