In his message to the communicants, the archbishop said “Strive to maintain the sanctity of your Church by the decorum you maintain..You must always feel conscious about the presence of the guardian angels and the archangels watching over you.  When you are conscious of this you will live your Christian vocation more fearlessly and faithfully.  You will also have no need to fear the tides of time and the challenges you may have to face as you grow up.  God is Faithful and he manifests his faithfulness through the angels watching over and directing us.  You must become witnesses of this Faithfulness of God wherever you go and in whatever you do”.
