The month of May is a very special month for the Parishioners of St. Mary's Church, Dubai. Mother Mary being the patron of St. Mary's Church, the congregation has a very special devotion to our Lady.
Every evening in the month of May, Rosary was recited with great ferver. The month long devotion concluded on 31 May with a high mass followed by candle light procession in which over three thousand parishioners participated. Singing Ave Maria after every decade of rosary, raising the lit candles high above, the congregation expressed their great love to Blessed Mary, our dearest, fondest and fairest mother.
The procession culminated at the Grotto of our Lady which is a place of everyday devotion for thousands of parishioners, where the final Blessing was given by the Parish Priest to the congregation.
The parishioners went home with a beautiful message to live, when Fr. Tomasito, the Parish Priest said that "This day coincides with the Feast of visitation of our Lady. Mother Mary who was so sensitive to the needs of her cousin Elizabeth, we too should think of a friend or a relative who needs our help, care and concern and do this act of charity following the example of Mother Mary, our role model."
