Feast of the Assumption. August 15, 2012

It was indeed a wonderful celebration for God has given a perfect cool weather.  I had been raining hard in the last few days.  The religious activity commenced at 5:30 PM of Wednesday, August 15, 2012.  It started at the Assumption Cathedral sanctuary with a prayer for the start of the Holy Rosary, after which the procession heeded to towards the main door.  A Marian hymn was sung.until we reached the first station (the mystery of Annunciation).  Then we made a stop and prayed a decade of the Holy Rosary.
This was repeated at the subsequent rosary stations: the Visitation, the Birth of our Lord, the Presentation in the Temple, Finding in the temple and finally, the mystery of the Assumption.  This religious activity fascinated and inspired many procession participants as they walked  devoutly  from one station to another praying the holy rosary.  Special thanks to various groups that prepared the stations:  Rita, Uliga, Delap, Rairok, Laura and the Assumption Women’s Club.
 The solemn Holy Mass capped the whole liturgy in honor of our Lady of the Assumption. The singing at Mass was enthusiastic and done with great devotion.  After the Mass,  the parish members were invited to a potluck dinner at the parish hall followed by wholesome entertainment performed by various parish groups.
