My heartfelt thanks for the Family Primetime Prayertime. It’s 1.30 am for me when this is streamed, so when I can’t make it, I usually replay the program at sometime between 3 and 5 am. Congratulations on the sincere and practical approach to life in this troubled world. I’m not sure of the names of the two priests, which I think are Frs Ashwin and Lance(?). Would like to find out their full names.
I hope such devotions continue. A wonderful use of social media in your evangelisation. God bless you and your endeavours.
Please remember my loved ones and myself in your prayers.

Hi good morning
Can you please share the live stream of the novenas with me.
Respected Sir,
I visit the Church every Wednesday. Wanted to know if the masses are being held today. Kind Regards
From the year 1979-80 on wards am a devotee to Mother Mary and used to participate in the Novenas of Wednesdays, the favors and blessings received by me and the prayers are many. I affirm that the blessings from these Novenas are abundant through our Mothers intercession to Triune God, Father, Son and Holi Spirit. Its a testing time for all of us and we shall continue to submit our prayers to get rid of this anarchy from COVID-19, hunting the world population. Let us depose ourselves for Mother Mary’s intercession to get rid of this peril.
Tomorrow 18th March church is open or close due to corona virus?
Will the church be open tmrw and also eill novenas be..?
