A Healing mass was held at Catholic Matsudo Church today, October 23, 2016 at 2pm with Fr. Peter Von Essen as the celebrant.

Confessions started at 1pm. At 2pm, the healing mass was celebrated.
There were around 320 people who attended the said mass. The mass was so solemn.

After the mass, individual anointing of the blessed oil took place, imposition of the brown scapulars and St. Padre Pio’s novena were distributed to the parishioners. Ms. Becca Santos and 3 other guests of the Center for st. Padre Pio of Philippines came with St. Padre Pio’s glove relic where parishioners can hold the relic and venerate.

Everything went well and was finished at 5:15 pm. A simple refreshment was enjoyed at Maria’s hall.

The Catholic Matsudo Church holds its annual ”St. Michael Festival and Bazzar”
The MCCIC joined the bazar and enjoyed selling Filipino foods. They sold turon – a delicacy made of plantain banana with sugar rolled in lumpia wrapper and fried. This is best for snacks. Another was pork barbecue marinated in sweet pineapple catsup sauce; They also sold arroz caldo – a rice porridge with chicken bits topped with spring onions and boiled egg and the pritong lumpia – cooked with ground beef, spices and various vegetables rolled in lumpia wrapper and fried. This is best eaten with sour spicy kind of sauce.

 

Every food was sold. Thanks to everyone. 😄
Well done MCCIC . 👏👏👏
