The last day of 2007 at the Sacred Heart Shrine in Fontana was marked by a solemn Mass, during which parishioners gave thanksgiving for the year that was setting as dusk loomed over the horizon. The concelebrated Mass started at 6.00pm.

The Chorus Urbanus animated the Mass which concluded with the solemn intonation and singing of “Te Deum Laudamus,” a hymn of praise to thank the Lord for all the moments of grace available to all those that seek His warmth. At the end of the service the Chorus Urbanus received an ovation from the congregation.

The end of the year vigil of adoration and prayer was kept until midnight when the first mass of 2008 was said, which was led by Canon Lino Vella, the new parish priest of Fontana.
