October ended in a high note as the Filipino Neighbourhood Rosary Crusade in Bestwood-Daybrook Areas (Nottingham) gathered once again on 31st October for the devotion’s Culminating Activities.
At 4.30pm they attended Mass at the Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Church in Bulwell. Fr Paul Newman, Parish Priest, welcomed them and mentioned the group’s intentions in the Mass. Romy and Precy Lagman, representing the group, were the offerors.
Right after the Mass, members proceeded to the Albano Residence where the Rosary was recited. Nida Albano led in reflecting the Joyful Mysteries while Jackie Rapada led in the singing. Intercessory Prayers followed which included a special prayer for all families and a moment of silence for the faithful departed. This was concluded with the singing of the ‘Ama Namin’ (Our Father) with participants holding each others’ hands. In his Message, Pietro Albano thanked everyone for their participation in this month-long devotion particularly the families who have welcomed the image in their homes. He also acknowledged members for their outstanding contribution to the devotion. Tokens of appreciation were given to these people.
Jackie Rapada was recognized for her Perfect Attendance in the devotion, She was also thanked for being the 'Lead Vocalist' throughout.
Joel and Digna Briones and their daughters Jan and Charmaine have been recognized for their family's outstanding attendance.
Precy Lagman was also acknowledged for her all-out support and networking skills that have made the project successful. Pietro jokingly told the audience that he knows who to turn to when he plans to run for public office.
Recognition was also given to Jack and Andrea Amancio (Jackie's parents) and Rosauro and Aida Briones (Joel's parents), couples spending vacation in Nottingham who also took part in this month-long activity.
A potluck dinner was later shared by all attendees. As it was Halloween, children dressed in various Halloween costumes had a ‘Trick or Treat’ from their elders.
