Christmas Eve was celebrated with holiness and joy at Milagres Cathedral Kallianpur on 24th December, 2018.
Most Rev. Dr Gerald Isaac Lobo celebrated the Holy Eucharist along with V. Rev. Fr Lawrence C. D’souza, Rector of Milagres Cathedral; Rev. Fr Canute Noronha, Assistant Parish Priest of Milagres Cathedral; Rev. Fr John Bennet and a large number of faithful took part in the celebrations.
In his homily, the Bishop said, “Mary and Joseph stayed in a hut when they reached Bethlehem and all the lodges therein were filled up. Mary gave birth to Jesus in the hut. To the world birth of Jesus is a small incident, but it is a very important incident in God’s planning. Almighty’s kindness is depicted through infant Jesus.”
Cake was cut by priests to enhance the joy of festive season. Cake auction was held by ICYM members. Santa Clause entertained the gathering. Beautifully decorated church with stars and lightings gave a boost to festive mood. Crib created by ICYM members was the centre of attraction.
