Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Our Lady of Velankanni Festival 2024
Our Lady of Velankanni Festival 2024 (Sept 6 – 14, 2024), Our Lady of Refuge, San Jose, CA
"And Mary said, 'My soul glorifies the Lord.'" (Luke 1:46-55)
Many devotees of Our Lady of Velankanni, longing for her unconditional motherly love and smile with expression of fulness of grace and peace, came from far and near to honor and show their affection to our Heavenly Mother by being part of the Our Lady of Velankanni festival celebration at Our Lady of Refuge church in San Jose, CA, during Sept 6 – 14, 2024!
This year's celebration was a special devotional treat for all those who came to participate in the Feast Mass for Our Lady of Health, as there were 11 Priests and a Deacon celebrating the feast Mass! It was like a visual show of God sending His army of 12 disciples to honor and glorify His Mother, and the additional 5 Alter Servers made the Altar and sanctuary look spectacular!
Thanksgiving & Welcoming:
First, we humbly Thank our almighty God for blessing us with another year to celebrate His Mother and providing us with a spiritually fulfilling devotional experience!
