St Ann's feast day draws a record crowd

The feast of St Ann at mile 10, Kota Padawan, started this morning at 9.00 AM with a thanksgiving Mass, concelebrated by Archbishop John Ha, Friar Gerard Victor OFM, Friar Moses Yap OFM and Friar Joseph Lee OFM. I figured close to 3,500 faithful attended the Mass. The faithful came early and by 8.00 AM, more than half of the chairs were occupied. Together joining the celebration was a group of 34 faithful from Singapore.

At the near by St Lukas Centre, it was a hive of activities as the 86 stall operators were actively selling their products as early as 7.00 AM. As usual the members of the public from the city made an early call to patronise the stalls.

By 11.30 AM St. Lukas Centre was jammed with people as more people literally rushed there after the Mass. It was a sight to behold.

Below are some of the pictures I have taken. I will post more pictures as soon as I get them from Mr. Raymond Allas.
