VIVA STO. NINO!

Parishioners of St Peter's Church Parish at Keewatin Avenue celebrated the Feast of the Child Jesus, Sto. Nino last January 15th at the Petrus Hall. Devotees of the Santo Nino came in red and brought their image of the Child Jesus.

In his homily, Parish Pastor Monsignor Enrique Samson talked about the importance of humility as embodied by the Child Jesus.

"Jesus is the owner of life but he died for us so we can live, " the pastor said. He is the owner and creator of everything, and yet he has to become poor so that we can participate in the richness of God in the kingdom of heaven," added Monsignor Samson

He also talked about the School of Nazareth, a place not only where Jesus grew up but also a place that teaches about the miracles and teachings of Jesus Christ.

Monsignor Enrique shared the three life lessons of the School of Nazareth, which is the preciousness and gift of silence, the lesson of work and family life.

The feast of Santo Nino is celebrated every third Sunday of January across the world by the Santo Nino devotees.

It commemorates the conversion of Filipinos to Christianity.
