Updated upcoming events for FilChap

“Let Us Walk with St. Joseph” is the theme of this year’s feast. St Joseph was a walker not only because of the walk he made from Nazareth to Bethlehem then to Egypt and back to Nazareth, but because after he listened to God in his dream, he got up and did exactly as he was told. Joseph did not talk but walk. His dreaming and walking easily made him a good listener and doer. These two qualities of Joseph are central to every spirituality and Christian life. We are called to be listeners and doers of the Word.

Lenten recollection is one of the Lenten preparations organized by the Filipino Chaplaincy annually. The Lenten recollection is led by one of the Filipino priests in the diocese. It is a whole day affair culminating with a Holy Mass.

Pabasa or sometimes referred to as Pasyon is a verse narrative about the life and suffering of Jesus Christ. The verses are structured in five-line stanzas with each line containing eight syllables.

Stations of the Cross refers to the depiction of the final hours (or Passion) of Jesus.

Salubong refers to the act of meeting someone who is arriving.

St. Joseph is the patron saint of the Filipino Chaplaincy. The feast of St. Joseph honors the foster father of Jesus, St. Joseph. His main feast falls on March 19 while the feast of St. Joseph the Worker falls on May 1.

Please remind all the 2SM, 3SM and 4SM Choir members to attend to this
rehearsal. This year’s mass will be officiated by Bishop Kevin Manning
