San Lorenzo Ruiz Novena and Celebratio
San Lorenzo Ruiz Novena and Celebration 2009
Every year, since 2001, the GRFACC has been celebrating the Feast Day of the first and only Filipino saint, San Lorenzo Ruiz. Since 2005, we have been doing a 9-day novena for San Lorenzo, and for the past 3 or 4 years we have been celebrating Novena Masses for the 9 days prior to San Lorenzo's Feast Day. This year we celebrated the Novena masses at the St. Bridget Chapel. Helping us celebrate these masses were Filipino priests: Fr. Burt Absalon, Fr. Joel Lopez, Fr. Perfecto Vasquez, Fr. William Antilion, and Fr. Ariel Valencia. We celebrated the Feast Day of San Lorenzo Ruiz on Sunday, September 27th. We had a procession with the Community's San Lorenzo Ruiz statue, prayed the Rosary, celebrated mass, and had a potluck dinner with fellowship after the mass.
