chairman for the this year 2014, organizing committee for the birthday

Spirit, Omole Phase 1, sheds light on the reason behind the celebration.
Today being
the 14th of Sept. 2014, we are celebrating the birthday of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus and our mother too. This is the first
time we are doing it as a parish. You should understand that Catholic Church of
the Holy Spirit is a new parish and we are celebrating for the first time here.
It is being organized by the Legion of Mary, of which I’m a member, on behalf
of the church. The lesson(s) people are going to get from this celebration is
that they will learn that we have a mother who is always ready to help us at
every moment. For instance, this year, we have captioned it “Mary, help of Christians”. If you
observe, there is heavy rain almost everywhere but here, there is no rain; to
show that today is divinely ordained that the Lord is with us and He is always
ready to honour His mother.
