Everyone is welcome! Please join the community in celebrating San Lorenzo Ruiz, the first ever Filipino Saint.
Lorenzo Ruiz (Filipino: Lorenzo Ruiz ng Maynila; Chinese: 李樂倫; Spanish: Lorenzo Ruiz de Manila; November 28, 1594 – September 29, 1637), also called Saint Lorenzo of Manila, was a Filipino Catholic layman and a member of the Third Order of Saint Dominic. A Chinese Filipino, he became his country's protomartyr after his execution in Japan by the Tokugawa shogunate during its persecution of Japanese Christians in the 17th century. Lorenzo Ruiz is the patron saint of, among others, the Philippines and the Filipino people.
We encourage everyone to wear Filipiniana and celebrate with us. After Mass, we will also celebrate Deacon Noli Rivera’s 70th Happy Birthday! Magkita-kita po tayo. Salamat po.
