FILIPINO CATHOLIC COMMUNITY
The Filipino Catholic Community exists to foster stronger ties and unite all parishioners of Filipino descent and those who have a special affection for Filipino culture into the common goal of serving the church and our community. We express praise and love for God by answering the call to stewardship, fellowship and the celebration of Philippine religious traditions in our native language in Liturgy, prayer and song. We come together to plan and participate in activities like the Filipino Choir, Filipino brunch/dinner, Lenten Community Service in shelters and/or soup kitchens, Christmas Caroling in nursing homes, Advent celebrations, and lending assistance to the El Santo Nino Ministry. This ministry is also funding educational scholarships to children in the Philippines.
