An Afternoon with the Bishop

Msgr. Tissier de Mallerais visits our Lady of Victories Church to conduct Confirmation to 29 children (20 boys; 9 girls) in November 15, 2009. The ceremony started at 8 AM which was immdediately followed with Pontifical Mass. He was assisted by Frs. Adam Purdy and Roy Dolotina. The AoM was there not only to witness the ceremony but also to serve in the Mass and to sing in the choir.

The Mt. Carmel Clan had their meeting in the afternoon. After the reporting, Fr. Dolotina joined the group to teach them French songs: Je Mets Ma Confiance and another version of Je Vous Salue.
The group learned that Msgr. Mallerais was walking down the school hall so they took the opportunity to meet and talk with him. Then the group sang the French songs which they have just learned. It was a very nice experience for having kissed his hands and have a photo with him.

The clan introduced itself to the Bishop then offered French songs to him. He gave short explanations and story on the songs the clan presented.



 





  
Msgr. Mallerais and the members of Mt. Carmel Clan had a short chitchat. It was short but memorable. He learned that our group was founded by Fr. Marc Vernoy, a French priest.
