I beautiful procession and Holy Mass, it was a great honor, privilege and spiritual gift to have been there.
I will never forget The Palm Sunday ceremony at St. Mary Norwalk. I believe God was well pleased with the prayer and devotion. Under the leadership of Fr. Cipolla, Fr. Markey and Deacon Genovese, the MC’s, altar servers, schola, children’s choir and congregation came together with one voice to give glory and honor to Jesus and His Father. The Holy Spirit’s presence was felt throughout.
Thank you Stuart for capturing the spirit and majesty of the ceremony. It was magnificent, and something I will never forget.
