Today, Passionists throughout the world celebrate Mary under the title of Our Lady of Holy Hope. This is particularly special to our diocese here in Mandeville, as it was this day 20 years ago that Bishop Boyle, our Founder, was ordained bishop and installed as the first Apostolic Vicar of the newly erected Vicariate of Mandeville, which would later become the diocese it is today. So, at St. Vincent Strambi, we celebrated this today in a special way with a solemn Mass and potluck lunch afterwards. (On the left, you see in front of the altar, the photo of Bishop Boyle and just beside him, the image of our Lady of Holy Hope - one can also see the pectoral cross Bishop Boyle wore the day of his ordination). Below, you will see some of the children from the Children's Home. 3 of them helped me out with the music today - 2 played conga drums and another played another African instrument (I don't even know the name of the instrument, but I love the sound it makes - goes well with Caribbean rhythms!) The names of the children are Brittania, Jaheel (sister and brother), and Lamoya and Samoya (quite obviously twins).
