    What a beautiful occasion for those thirty couples as well as their respective families to realize that the Church provided them the facility as well as the opportunity to get married under the Catholic rituals and faith. These 30 couples as well as their future generation will always remember this noble gesture and will always try and remain under the Catholic faith.

    Gestures such as these are some of the best and the unique ways the Catholic Church can extend their resources and talents and show to the world what's Catholicism is all about.

    Thank you, Archbishop Bernard for your kindness and your vision for the poor and the needy.
