The last day of 2007 at the Sacred Heart Shrine at Fontana was marked by solemn Mass during which all parishioners were eager to give thanksgiving to the Lord for the year that was setting as dusk loomed over the horizon. The concelebrated Mass started at 6.00pm.  The Chorus Urbanus animated the Mass that concluded with the solemn intonation and singing of “Te Deum Laudamus”, a hymn of praise to thank the Lord for all the moments of grace available to all those that seek His warmth.

At the end of the service the Chorus Urbanus was given an ovation by the affectionate congregation that recognized the sterling service given by the choir.  An end of the year vigil of adoration and prayer was kept between until midnight when the first mass of 2008 was said.  It was led by Can Lino Vella, the new parish priest of Fontana.
