The Federation of Families of the Dominican Republic organized a Marriage blessing ceremony on November 19. We had around 320 participants and among them, 100 couples received the holy blessing of True Parents.
Mr. Leonidas Belliard, regional director of the Heavenly Caribbean, gave the welcoming remarks. And after that, the invocation prayer was given by Pastor Honoré of the Evangelical Church “Adelante con Cristo”. And later, Pastor Jiménez gave the words of greetings.
Then Mr. Cesar Regalado gave a lecture about the value and meaning of the blessing and True Parent’s providential life course, while all the participants listened attentively.
This was followed by the main blessing ceremony which was officiated by Rev. Takashi and his wife Mrs. Teiko Kono, Japanese national messiah of Dominican Republic.
The important couples in attendance were:
- Mrs. Yoko Kikuchi and her husband Mr. Pascuale Lai.
- Mrs. Aurenice Pereira and her husband Mr. Colón Valenzuela.
- Mrs. Shaniella Petra and her husband Mr. Carlos Hernandez.
- Mrs. Olga Chambilla and her husband Mr. Luis Sisa Nova.
- Mrs. Mabel Flores and her husband Mr. Williams Caro.
- Mrs. Arisleyda Hiraldo and her husband Mr. Rodolfo Espinosa.
- Mrs. Beatriz Lopez and Mr. Luminado Pujols.
All the steps of the ceremony were carried out joyfully and successfully in a very bright shining atmosphere. And we could see all the couples were in great joy, as they began a new life of blessing. After the main blessing ceremony, we conducted the Indemnity stick ceremony where all the blessed couples participated and went through the ceremony with big smiles and laughs.
We congratulate all the couples for receiving such amazing heavenly blessings from Heavenly Parent and True Parents.
We offer our deepest gratitude to our beloved True Parents.
