Udupi :The Feast of Our Lady of Miracles, held at Milagres Cathedral in Kallianpur, was joyously celebrated with devotion on Sunday, 9th July, 2023. Despite heavy rain throughout the previous night and morning, the Cathedral was filled, and the bells chimed at 10 am, inviting the faithful to rejoice and praise the Almighty Lord through our Patroness, Our Lady of Miracles.
The mass featured a melodious choir and a well-planned liturgy led by assistant parish priest Fr. Joy Andrade. Before the mass, Melwyn Sequeira, the Vice President of the PPC, gave a brief introduction outlining the significance of the feast and its theme, “Let us be responsible, like Our Mother Mary.”
The main celebrant for the mass was Rev Fr. Denis D’Sa, Parish Priest of St Ann Church, Thottam, accompanied by Rev Fr. Valerian Mendonca, the Rector of the Cathedral, Fr. Joy Andrade, Asst. Parish Priest, Fr. Roshan D’Souza, Chancellor of Udupi Diocese and Diocesan Judicial Vicar, Fr. Fredrick Mascarenhas, Fr. Xavier Pinto, as well as deanery priests and guest priests.
During his inspiring homily, Fr. Denis D’Sa emphasized the theme of the feast, urging individuals to be responsible in their lives, much like Mother Mary. He reminded parents of their grave responsibility to teach their children spiritual values and lead by example. By acknowledging their failings, parents can better guide and correct their children. Fr. Denis D’Sa’s words were motivating and served as a wake-up call for many.
Following the Holy Mass, Rev Fr. Valerian Mendonca, the Rector, expressed gratitude to the Pirjent Family i.e. i.e. the family members of Late A J D’Silva for their generous sponsorship of the event for 78 consecutive years.
