Bishop Agnelo reached the border areas in Amritsar District to witness another big gathering in the same month of November. This was the occasion where the faithful of Ajnala Deanery and other nearby deaneries came together as per the custom to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Graces. The Solemn Feast was coordinated by Rev. Fr. John, the Parish Priest of St. Michael’s Church, Ajnala. The feast falls on the 3rd Sunday of the month of November and this year it was on 18th November. Bishop Agnelo was so happy to see the praying faithful in the border areas of Punjab. He witnessed a real catholic community that was vibrant in this part of Punjab. He was the Main Celebrant of the Most Holy Eucharistic Celebration in which he specially prayed for the people of Punjab and in a special way for the Ajnala that organized the Feast. Fr. Peter Hans, the Director of Board of Catechism, preached the homily on the effects of intercession of Blessed Virgin Mary. As per the traditions, the Big Meal (Langar) was arranged for everyone who came to seek the blessings of Mother Mary.
