Tuesday, January 20, 2004 – The Christian community will give thanks to God for 25 years of nationhood on Friday 20th February 2004.

A National Ecumenical Service is scheduled for the Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception from 4 p.m. in commemoration of Saint Lucia’s 25th anniversary of Independence.

President of the Saint Lucia Christian Council Father Michel Francis says the service will unify persons of all faith in a single purpose of thanksgiving to God for Saint Lucia.

He says “an ecumenical service by its very nature calls people of all Christian faiths…really to come together to pray, first of all in thanksgiving to God for our land, for a nation that is going to be 25 years since it gained independence. Where we can have some form of self- actualization, self-realization. It brings people together to pray so that we can chart a way forward that will be better for our people.”

The Ecumenical Service is one of several activities in the yearlong calendar of events in observance of the silver jubilee of St. Lucia’s Independence.

For more information contact Fr. Michel Francis at (758) 452-2271, (758) 451-8345.
