Hi,
Last July 25, 2010, at Basilica of Fourviere, Lyon
The 2nd Annual Filipino Annual Sharing Session was really went well, and for that I would like to thank you for your presence.
The mass was celebrated by Father Loys de Saint Chamas on Sunday, July 25,2010. Some of us gathered together before the mass during lunch to celebrate Thomas’s Birthday.
Just after the mass, we proceeded to the sharing session we have talked about the following:
- The Proposition about the Protection of Mother Mary de la Naval
- Contributions, generating funds
- Meaning of the La naval
We have noted that La naval means = boat, navire, the first christians arrived in Lyon by the river La Saone and Rhone.
We also kept that one meaning is symbolize our Baptism.
Take note, before, they use to punish people by putting them in the boat and let them sail where the water brings them. Thay could survive and stop in other places or islands.
Mother Mary la Naval, has protected Manila during the several attacks of the Dutch Navire to conquer the city for a center market port without success until they lost the life of their General.
We were 34 attendees who gave their attention to this annual journey dedicated to our FAITH.
