Feast of Immaculate Conception
Grenada celebrates in national stadium
 

Grenadian Catholics turned out in their thousands to celebrated the feast of the Immaculate Conception. The December 7 liturgy was held at the national stadium, as the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in St George’s cannot be used since being damaged by Hurricane Ivan in September 2004.

The day’s activities began with the assembly of the faithful at 8.00 a.m. for a one-mile procession to the stadium. Along the way, participants sang and prayed the Rosary. A healing service for the nation preceded the Eucharistic celebration. Fr John Theodore CSSp of the archdiocese of Port of Spain delivered the homily, calling on all to pray the rosary daily for their families and their nation.

Among those present were Governor General His Excellency Carlyle Glean, former Governor General Sir Paul Scoon, and several government ministers.
