The Feast of St. Anthony is celebrated with a lot of devotion and piety every year at Pimpri but this year due to Corona Virus....no celebration of feast was conducted with the physical presence of the parishioners.....the friars conducted for 9 days online live novenas and yesterday once again a solemn Mass was celebrated and live telecast to the parishioners.
Fr. Benhur Patil, our new rector was the main celebrant for the festal Mass
Our fraternity from La Verna joined the festal celebration....five of us joined the fraternity of Pimpri
Second celebration was the birthday of Fr. Amrut Fonseca, the parish priest.....we anticipated the celebration .......we wished and prayed for him during the Mass...
Fr. Amit D'Britto, newly ordained friar proclaiming the word of God.....he was under lockdown at home...now he is at Pimpri till he gets permit to travel to his fraternity
I was the preacher of the day....all about st. Anthony.....love to preach about our own beloved friar....the pride of belonging to the Franciscan Order gives me more enthusiasm and energy to preach about our elder great brother...
