November 30 - On this day, we celebrated Mass at 7:15 am in our Parish St. Mary’s Church together with the people. Fr. John Bruno, the Pastor, presided over this celebration. In his homily, he highlighted the message of St. Andrew, the apostle, who had a special relationship with Jesus and became a vocation promoter; “Lord Jesus where are you living… ‘We have found the Christ!’ Andrew took Simon to Jesus.” Each baptized, he commented, has the commitment to invite the people to come to Church.
