PERNEM: A large number of parishioners from Morjim under the leadership of their parish priest Fr Miguel Pereira participated in a procession of Mother Mary around the village on Sunday as a sign of their profession of faith.
"In her apparition at Fatima, Mother Mary's humble call was ‘Pray the Rosary every day to bring peace to the world'. The month of October is dedicated to pray the Rosary," said Fr Pereira.
A large number of parishioners gathered at the Morjim church at 5.30 pm. The procession started with the statue of Mother Mary being placed atop a well-decorated jeep and the people carried colourful lanterns.
Throughout the walk, people prayed the Rosary devoutly and also sung the Marian hymns. The route for the procession was well decorated with lanterns, banners, candles and incense.
At 7 pm, Fr Pereira celebrate the Eucharist and the services ended with solemn blessings.
