Blessing of Mosaic of Our Lady of Lujan

On Wednesday 8th of May, the Feast of Our Lady of Lujan, we had a beautiful gathering to bless the mosaic the children made during the Saturdays they meet for the Oratory “John Paul II”. Were invited along with the parents many other parishioners who joined the celebration in a great and happy atmosphere. After the blessing we shared the subla to feast as it deserved. May Our Lady keep always her eyes and maternal hands upon our Parish and especially upon our children! You are all welcome to participate in the Solemn Mass of Our Lady of Lujan this Monday 13th at 12pm in Agia Kyriaki.

The same day Pope Francis honoured the Virgin of Lujan at Saint Peter Square, here his words and photo: “On this day which celebrates Our Lady of Lujan, heavenly Patroness of Argentina, give applause to the Virgin of Lujan … stronger, I cannot feel, more strongly. On this day of the Virgin of Lujan I wish to convey to all those dear children of that beloved territory of Argentina my sincere affection, while I lay in the hands of the Blessed Virgin all their joys and concerns. Thank you very much “.
