Parent's day & Vianney Sunday celebrations in Siddhpur Mission Parish by Fr. Xavier James.

Parent’s day & Vianney Sunday celebrations in Siddhpur Mission Parish

Parents are the first teachers who are irreplaceable precious gifts from God. Keeping this in mind on the commemoration of the parents of Blessed Virgin Mary Sts. Joachim & Anne, the parishioners of Siddhpur celebrated the parents’ day with the Holy Eucharist. Four children expressed their sentiments before their parents and it was a moving experience to listen to their genuine sharing. One child brought tears in every eye through her grateful sharing. When parenting is becoming difficult in the changing world everyone prayed for the grace of God to support parents for good parenting.  The children presented small gifts to their parents as a token of gratitude.

Vianney Sunday was celebrated in Siddhpur Mission parish with pomp. It began with solemn well participated liturgy. Fr. Xavier James presided over the Eucharist and after an inspiring homily on the life of St. John Mary Vianney and Sunday liturgy of the Word; everyone proclaimed their faith in trine God and joined in prayer of the faithful which was in different languages: Konkani, Malayalam, Gujarati, English. They were well prepared by the people themselves. The parishioners were proud of their shepherds and prayed for all the priests whom they knew and have made difference in their lives. After the Eucharist all joined in agape together prepared by the priest himself. (15^th August 2013) 

Vianney Sunday Celebrations: The Archdiocesan priests and archbishop are still energetic which is well shown through the basketball game and get-together. Fr. Jebamalai was thanked by His Grace Archbishop for valuable service render to the Archdiocese as the Financial Administrator. It is good when brothers live together.
