Doha, 09 October 2010: The Parish Feast of Our Lady of Rosary Qatar was celebrated on Friday 08 October 2010 and the parishioners gathered at the church in huge numbers. The celebration began at 4:30pm with Living Rosary in the Main Church followed by Festal Solemn High Mass in English at 5:00pm. The chief celebrant was Rev. Father Gandolf Wild from Bishop’s House, Abu Dhabi.

 

From 4:30pm to 10:30pm Food and Games stalls were opened by various communities and prayer groups Most of the food was prepared at home by parishioners which included various kind of dishes of all communities and among them was the stall of Konkani Speaking Community comprising Mangaloreans and Goans. Especially those who are single here in Doha and depend on hotel food had an opportunity to taste some of the home made dishes.

 

 

The Church was decorated with festive lightings. The cultural programs were organized by the parish at the main lobby of Church, which was an opportunity for various communities to perform before the live audience. The whole atmosphere was entertaining and fantastic.

 

It was a beautiful evening of feast and everyone had a fun filled day, which was entirely due to the efforts of the organizing committee, community leaders, volunteers, all people who worked hard for this event and surely it would not have been possible without the support and encouragement from the Parish Priest Fr. Peter, Fr. Anand and all the other Priests.
