“With the protection of Our Lady of Deliverance, let us walk with hope” is the theme chosen for this year’s festivities, as Rui Nobre, the parish priest of the Parish of Our Lady of Deliverance, told Inforpress.
“Since we are in the Jubilee Year, the year of hope, we chose this theme for this year, already included within this Jubilee Year, as we walk under the protection of the Virgin with hope in eternal life and with God,” he said.
According to Parish Priest Rui Nobre, this is a celebration for the church and the entire parish community. He therefore asked everyone to get involved, living with faith and love, always looking to the Virgin Mary, who is the example and who points the way to hope.
