I am a Catholic and wholeheartedly do accept death for God. Had I a thousand lives, all these to Him I shall offer. Do with me as you please.

Last words of San Lorenzo Ruiz before execution for refusing to recant his faith.

SJV Celebration of San Lorenzo Ruiz

By Ross Viray At St John Vianney, the Filipino community celebrates the annual feast of the first Filipino saint, San Lorenzo Ruiz de Manila. He was put to death in Nagasaki, Japan when he refused to deny his Catholic faith.

The annual feast is an evening of glorious, fantabulous and delectable celebration of the Filipino heritage, tradition and culture of faith, and everyone in the community is invited and also encouraged to wear the traditional Filipino costumes known as Filipiniana and Barong Tagalog.

After the Mass, we proceed to the church hall for dinner and entertainment. The dinner is presented by a long table of Filipino dishes such as adobo, pancit, mechado, lumpia, lechon, and various Filipino desserts. The entertainment features Filipino folklore music and dances, participated not only by Filipinos, but other parishioners who may wish to participate.

Nine days prior to the day of annual celebration, we pray the Novena to San Lorenzo Ruiz every evening either at the church or at the home of a parishioner family who may request to host a night of novena at their place. On the day of the event, the celebration begins with the procession of the statue of San Lorenzo Ruiz around the parking area of St John Vianney church while praying the rosary. The procession is followed by a Holy Mass usually concelebrated by different priests, and this year, we have the honor of Bishop Weigand’s presence to officiate the Holy Mass.

As part of the St John Vianney ethnic ministry with a goal to continue to educate our Filipino youth about cultural awareness of our Filipino Catholic tradition, and heritage, the annual feast celebration is a motivation to develop an active and dedicated Filipino community of Catholics, united in prayer and with Christ.
