Morning Prayer held on Sabado de Gloria

“The Parish Youth Ministry of Santa Candida Maria de Jesus Parish held a Morning Prayer on Sabado de Gloria, bringing together young members of the community in a moment of solemn reflection. The gathering provided a space for silence, prayer, and contemplation as the Church observes the day of waiting before the Resurrection. Through this activity, the youth were able to deepen their faith and prepare their hearts in anticipation of the joy of Christ’s Resurrection.”
