The annual feast of St. Peter, (Titular feast) the Patron of Barkur Parish, was celebrated in Barkur on Wednesday, 29th June. The celebrations started with High Mass, Rev. Fr. Clement Mascarenhas being the main celebrant, at 10.30 a.m.
The feast being locally popular as 'Nere Habba', lived up to the popularity as it has been raining heavily in Barkur these days. But it did not prove to be a constraint for the Parishioners as they participated in the celebrations with great enthusiasm.
Rev Fr Clement Mascarenhas was the main celebrant of the holy Euchastric celebration.. Along with him Fr Stany B Lobo, dean of Kallianpur Denary, Fr Valerian Mendonca, parish priest and chancellor of Udupi diocese and other priests of the Deanery and neighboring parishes took part in the holy Eucharistic celebration.
