Filipino Mass @ St. Mary's Cathedral, Hamilton

In continuing the beautiful tradition of the Filipino Mass, Father Frank (and the Hamilton Parish) in association with the Hamilton Filipino Community invites everyone to the first Filipino Mass at the St. Mary's Cathedral in Hamilton. This will be on the 29th of July (yes, that's a Sunday) from 6-7pm. This is to invite new Filipinos to the Hamilton Parish.

We all know how hard it is to make friends and establish one's self in a new country, especially one as different to our own as New Zealand. But if there's one thing most Filipinos have in common with some Kiwis, it is being Christian and Catholic. Most countries in the western world have at least one Catholic church in every town, Hamilton is no exception to the rule. And were else would you find other Filipinos, especially on Sundays, but church.

So if you're wanting to fulfill your Catholic obligations on the 29th, why not do it at St. Mary's from 6-7pm. Oh and did I mention the free feed after mass? Oo, misa na may pakain pa! Dinner and get-together after mass at the church hall. Also, offertory is purely voluntary and if you want to present gifts to the priest during mass, you are welcome to do so, but only one representative per family. Talk to the organizers about this one before the mass or if you have any other burning questions, ring Marian Borda (0211227216), or email us, or even leave a comment/question at the end and we'll find someone who can answer your questions. See y'all there.
