We gave thanks to God…
The Thanksgiving Day 2016 was celebrated at St. Aloysius Parish, Kitchener, ON, Canada on 10th October. The concelebrated Morning Mass was presided over by the Pastor of the Parish, Fr. Jerome Mascarenhas. Deacon David Avila, our parishioner and one of the transitional deacons of the Diocese of Hamilton joined the Eucharistic celebration and proclaimed the Word of God. The Presider of the Mass preached a fitting homily to the occasion and invited a lady composer to sing her piece of music on thanksgiving soon after the homily. It really uplifted our hearts to God in thanksgiving for all his blessings. About 70-80 people participated in this special Thanksgiving Mass. This day is celebrated as Thanksgiving Day all over Canada being together with family, having a big Turkey Dinner and giving thanks to God for the produce and fruits of the earth.
