Vikas Pereira Asst parish Priest. Before the festive mass all the lights were switched off at the church. Fr. Assisi Rebello lighted the Easter Candle from the “New Fire” and carried it to the Altar in a procession. As the candle was taken down the aisle, parishioners lit the candles from the flame, illuminating the area in candle light. Water was blessed and the Holy water was then sprinkled on all those present.
