Beautiful and touching pictures by Canute Menezes. I felt I was Mira Road though I am in New York. Fr. Dominic, all the other priests and parish people did a great job on this Palm Sunday. I wish you all happiness during Good Friday and also at EASTER SUNDAY. Blessings of palm is and the procession is a blessing for everybody. The only sadness is that in USA it is not a holiday. Being a Christian country it is not a official day off. |
