At 10.00am, praise and worship sessions were conducted in four languages at different locations, providing a time for thanksgiving, worship, and celebrating our unity as one Church family. The Rosary followed at 10.30am, recited in four languages within the church, leading into the 11.00am Mass, which used the liturgy of the Holy Family. The Mass was presided over by Bishop Bernard Paul, joined by all 10 priests from the Melaka Vicariate.
Bishop Bernard urged us to pray that Jesus remains the centre of our lives, families, and communities, following the example of the Holy Family. He emphasised four key aspects of the Holy Family: following the Word of God; keeping Jesus at the centre; fostering mutual respect within the family — father, mother, and children — as gifts from God; and embracing God’s plan and mission by encouraging one another to follow Jesus.
During Mass, Bishop Bernard blessed all married couples present, with a special blessing for those who had been married for 50 years or more. After the service, everyone gathered at St Mary’s School hall for lunch, followed by a series of cultural performances. The festivities also included several lucky draws, with cash prizes for the winners. The Vicariate Family Day concluded at 2.30pm with a final blessing from Bishop Bernard.
