Through the power of cross God has opened new doors for the movement in Bangalore.Thank God for all the wonderful things God has led us into at the beginning of the jubilee year itself.
We travelled good part of Bangalore(around 150km) on both the days with the concluding mass at St.Antony's friary Church where the cross was handed over to the TamilNadu region."
