We celebrated this afternoon the Commemoration of the Lord's Supper at the UST Parish Chapel and not at the grandstand as originally scheduled since, inadvertently, there were no preparations made on the sound system at the grandstand. It could have been better if we could have celebrated it there to accommodate a larger number of parishioners who wanted to attend the celebration, and besides it was windy outside. Anyway, the Mass went on as it were without any problem.
