Sacrament of Marriage Celebration
Greetings to you all once again!
Thank God that he guides us, blesses us and provides for us in our everyday living and still we continue on in life. Here in my Parish, My Priesthood duties is still carried on. Paramount to my duties is “Pastoral visits”. I visited local communities in my Parish to celebrate Holy Mass for them and to give them Sacraments that they really need.
A good highlight of this is, on Saturday, September 13, 2025, We have a marriage celebration in Karara village, a local community in my Parish. In the Holy Mass, 4 couples receive the sacrament of matrimony.
Being the Celebrant of the Holy Mass, I offer them the blessings of Marriage. I also admonish the couples that Marriage is a commitment that they are to be faithful to each other as Husband and Wife and to be successful, they have to live their marriage life according to the way the church teaches not the way they think. Also they are to look at the example of Christ. He offered himself to die for the people he loves as his very own. An example and clear picture of self sacrifice and true commitment.
The community of Karara has been so grateful for the celebration as they see the long awaited day their four young men longs for now come true. They put on a wonderful liturgy for the celebration. After the prayers ended, a light refreshment is put on for all. Everybody enjoy it before the day finally ends.
With wishes, regards and greetings to you all!
Yours sincerely in Christ!
