Madanthyar: The Confraternity Sunday (‘Kompricho Aitar’) of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, Madanthyar was celebrated on Sunday, December 2, as preparation for the annual feast celebration, which will be held on December 5.
Rev. Fr. Anthony George Pinto – Scripture Professor, St. Joseph’s Seminary, Mangaluru celebrated the solemn Holy Mass and preached the homily.
After the Holy Mass, a majestic procession in honour of the Holy Eucharist was taken through the streets of Madanthyar. On this blessed day, the entire parish community participated in huge numbers. For the procession, there were two sets of musical bands, a beautifully decorated vehicle carrying the Holy Eucharist, the parish choir singing with the parishioners, and the colourful decoration all along the streets with quotes from the scripture, all of which added magnificence to the entire celebration.
After the procession, the parishioners assembled at the church grounds to participate in the benediction led by Fr. Anthony.
The ceremony helped the entire parish community get spiritually prepared for the annual feast.
