The feast of the Assumption was celebrated at the Mother of Mercy shrine in Magaliesburg, Johannesburg archdiocese.
The Mass, celebrated by Archbishop Buti Tlhagale with Bishop Duncan Tsoke and priests of the archdiocese, was not open to the public, due to lockdown regulations, but it was livestreamed on the Archdiocesan News’ Facebook page.
The faithful were asked to pray for an end to the Covid-19 pandemic and the success of the continuation of the shrine.
