You are the image of God.
"Let thy face shine on thy servant; save me in thy steadfast love!"
Psalm 31:16
Thank you in participating the 29th Filipino Pilgrimage to the Martyr's Shrine in Midland, Ontario.
"Filipino Pilgrimage at the Martyr's Shrine in Midland" The gathering of the 29th Filipino Pilgrimage at the Martyr's Shrine in Midland, Ontario on August 8, 2009 was a manifestation that God loves us. It was like the Miracle in the Multiplication of bread and Wedding at Cana where all partook the body of Christ. It was a dramatic turn of events where it was forecasted to rain but it turned out to be a beautiful day with a touch of magnificent blue sky and spiritual breeze of air. We praise the Lord Jesus Christ for answering our prayers for a good weather. We all know that Filipinos are closely knitted family, with a rich cultural heritage so let us glue the bond in our hearts and encourage one another to build stronger ties with our family of faith. Full of vigor and enthusiasm, Fr. Ben Ebcas, Chaplain of AFCM addressed the Filipino Community, to encourage everyone to spend time with one another and share their experiences and encounter with Jesus. He also advised the pilgrims to be witnesses for Jesus Christ and to pray to our Filipino Martyrs, St. Lorenzo Ruiz and Blessed Pedro Calungsod of Visayas for their intercession. The pilgrimage was highlighted by the Eucharistic celebration, procession, parade of banners of each participating organization, carrying the statue of our Blessed Mother Mary and patron saints. The Sacred Candle for this event was handed over to Bro. Don Quilao, Head Servant of the Filipino Canadian Catholic Charismatic Prayer Community (FCCCPC) to host the next pilgrimage next year August 2010. So brothers, sisters and friends, let us continue to serve our God, Country and Community. View fotos here
