Morning Novena mass was celebrated by Rev Fr Deric Cap from Bejai. Reflecting on the theme Let us be merciful towards the sick and elderly he said that our sickness age can not be taken away we can not avoid that rather we have to ask the grace to bear. He said that the Lord has accepted the sinners and that is the miracle so let us bear the cross with Joy. After the communion there was special prayer for the sick and the elderly. Before the mass there was benediction conducted by Rev Fr Jason Monis. Rev Fr Leo Veigas, Rev Fr Charles, Rev Fr George con-celebrated. Choir from Bajal accompanied in the liturgy.
