Church consecration of Huay Rai Village
Sunday, February 12, there was a big celebration in the village of Hauy Rai, in Northern Thailand, for the consecration of the new church of the village.

The parish is entrusted to the Betharramite Religious of the Holy Family Catholic Centre at Ban Pong.
The concelebration was presided by Mgr. Francis Xavier Vira Arpondratana, Bishop of Chiang Mai. Fr. John Chan Kunu scj, superior of the community, Fr. Peter Nonthaphat Mayoe scj and Fr. Alberto Pensa scj were also present.
The church was dedicated to the "Sacred Heart of Jesus."
As per tradition, at the end of the celebration the villagers offered the lunch to everyone.
