Thereafter the Altar Boys joined the priests in procession to the Altar, singing the Easter joy.  Holding the lighted candles in their hands, people joyfully raised their hearts and minds to the Lord as the Pascal hymn was sung proclaiming the importance of the Easter vigil and the Pascal candle. Rev Fr Alwin Serrao offered the solemn mass as main Celebrant. Rev Fr Antony Shera the parish priest gave a beautiful reflection on the Resurrection of Jesus.
