RETREAT CONDUCTED



Our Humble but dignified makeshift altar. Fr. Abe, CRS Celebrated the Ordinary form of the Mass. Our initial plan was to celebrate the Mass in the Latin Novus Ordo, but for pastoral reasons we finally decided to have it in English for the benefit of the students who are not familiar with Latin and we do not have booklets where students could follow through. But Father Abe used Roman Canon I.



The First Reading and the Responsorial Psalm.


After the Mass the students and Dr. Herbert R. requested the celebrant to bless sacramentals such as rosaries, medals and booklets.



In the photo, students listening intently to the talk of Fr. Abe. After the talk Fr. Abe offered the Sacrament of Penance to the students.After the Mass, Dr. herbert and some students requested Fr. Abe to bless rosaries and other sacramentals. Initially, I requested Fr. Abe to say the Novus Ordo in Latin, but since some are nominal Catholics, we thought it would be beneficial for the students if we have the Mass in English. Fr. Abe used the Roman Canon I.
