Mass & Liturgy
The Holy Eucharist is the heart of our faith community at the Holy Mother of Expectation Catholic Church, Eldeniya. Through the celebration of the Mass and sacred liturgies, we come together to worship, give thanks, and receive God’s grace. Our parish offers daily Mass, special devotions, and healing services, providing opportunities for spiritual renewal and deepening our relationship with Christ.
We invite you to join us in these sacred celebrations as we grow in faith and unity through the richness of the Church’s liturgical life.
