CHRIST KING CHURCH
HONOURS MARY The members of the Christ King Church, Kohima, concluded the Marian Month of May on 29 May 2016 with a procession from Don Bosco Kohima Campus to Christ King Church. The procession began at 2.00 pm with an introductory talk by Fr. Dr. A. J. Sebastian. He narrated the origins of the feast of Mary Help of Christians (MHC), from the apostolic times to the battle of Lepanto where Christendom ultimately triumphed through the powerful intercession of the Blessed Virgin and the recitation of the Holy Rosary. Fr. Sebastian also highlighted the glories of Mary and recommended the faithful gathered to have devotion to MHC if they wished their prayers to be answered. That was how
St. John Bosco got many of his prayers answered. The procession culminated in the Adoration Service in the Christ King Church, Kohima village. The Adoration Service was conducted by Fr. Paul Punii. The bier with the statue of MHC was flanked by Altar servers and carried by the members of Thepfukho Krotho (Men’s Association). Many devotees including representatives from various associations like Legion of Mary, Jesus Youth, Catholic Youth Association, Junior Catholic Association, boarding boys and girls, and a sizeable number of lay faithful devoutly participated in the Marian procession.
