Nov 26-27, 2016: In order to mark the beginning of the new liturgical year St Anne's Friary hosted a Night Vigil for the faithful of Mangalore on Saturday, 26th November 9 p.m. to 27th Sunday morning 6 a.m.
Around 400 faithful gathered together to worship and praise the Lord and gave a spiritual start to their lives. The season of waiting for the Lord was made more meaningful through the sermons and reflections shared by various Capuchin preachers namely Br. Darick, Br Lancy, Br. Jawahar and Br Denis. Bro Vincent from Divine Retreat Center helped the faithful to celebrate this night of grace with his lively music.
Indeed it was a Night of Grace as many faithful expressed later as they returned home refilling their lives with the spiritual energy.
