During the liturgy, the bishop sprinkled holy water on the church columns to sanctify the building. The event also celebrated the first anniversary of the current pastor's arrival at the parish. Bishop Khang joined by dean priests and other clergy from within and outside the diocese to celebrate the Mass with local parishioners, religious brothers and sisters, seminarians, and benefactors.

He encouraged the congregation to use the renewed sanctuary as a place to strengthen their faith and responsibility toward the Church.
