During the procession, Fr. Mozia is expected to carry the Monstrance accompanied by the religious and laity who will be proclaiming Jesus Christ as King and reverence Him in the Blessed Sacrament.
A visit to Maris Schools where the procession will end shows that parishioners at the new Mass Centre in collaboration with the management of the school were working to ensure that this year’s Festival being the first to be marked in the new Mass Centre is a memorable one.
