The celebration started with the distribution of candles to all those who contributed towards the feast day.

The highlight of the day was the Eucharistic celebration in which many priests participated and concelebrated the Holy Mass. Fr.Bonnifes was the main celebrant of the day who enlightened everyone present, about St.Antony’s intimacy with Christ in his homily. Parish choir made the liturgy lively by their melodious singing.
