First Mass celebrated by Fr. Emmanuel on 06/05/2024 in the seminary.
We thank everyone for their prayers and bring Fr. Emmanuel’s thanks.
I would like to wholeheartedly thank all of you who have kept me in your prayers during the journey to my ordination. In particular, I would like to thank our bishop Philippe, the seminary formators, catechists, seminarians and all the priests who helped me. Above all, I would like to thank my family, who from an early age, despite all the difficulties, tried to pass on the faith to me and always taught me to put the Lord first. I would also like to thank the communities of the Neocatechumenal Way in Chile, in Madrid, and also the missionary priests of the Neocatechumenal Way-both in Tallinn and in Tartu-who have been witnesses of how God has been working with me over these years.
I also want to thank all the Estonian people for all the years you have welcomed me with great affection, for your friendship, for your culture and language that I have come to love and know.
I thank you once again and ask you to continue to pray for me, that the Lord will humble me and give me the spirit of service of His Son Jesus Christ, who came not to be served but to serve.
I thank you very much.
Father Emmanuel Parra
