WAY OF THE CROSS HELD ATOP ANJUNA HILL HERALD CORRESPONDENT CALANGUTE, April 11, 2011 Hundreds of villagers from Anjuna and surrounding villages assembled for Way of the Cross at Anjuna hill on Friday. St. Michael’s Church, Anjuna, Parish Priest Fr. Thomas Gonsalves led the devotees atop the hill for Way of the Cross and Holy Eucharist at the Miraculous Cross. The devotees took part in the religious ceremonies climbing almost 400 steps to reach the hill for a Holy Eucharist concelebrated by Pilar Society Provincial Superior Fr. Kryiel D’Souza, Fr. Max Gonsalves, Fr. Agnel Fernandes, Fr. Thomas Gonsalves and Fr. Constancio Mendes (assistant parish priest of Anjuna. “In today’s society, we see failures either on the sporting field, education or other fields as a setback to our successes, but it was just the contrary in the life of Jesus Christ and he exemplified it in his fall while carrying the Cross to Cavalry,” said Fr. Kryiel in his homily. Earlier, Fr. Kryiel blessed the newly erected Cross with the image of Jesus Christ hanging on it in the presence of Fr. Gonsalves, Fr. Mendes, Fr. Max Gonsalves, Fr. Agnel Fernandes and a large number of devotees from Anjuna, Vagator and Calangute. -------------------------------------------------------------- P.S.
