Viva Pit Señor!
We are finally celebrating the Feast of Santo Niño face to face!
Filipinos’ love and devotion for Santo Niño is ingrained in our culture and Christian history. The Filipino Community has over the years celebrated the Holy Child’s feast by bringing Philippines in the grounds of St. Mary’s Catholic Church Dubai and letting parishioners experience this colorful and joyous occasion.
Come! Be one with us on Sunday, 29 January 2023 from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM
This year’s theme is “Santo Niño: Kasama Ng Komunidad sa Paglalakbay Tungo sa Kabanalan”. “Tifl Muqaddas”, an Arabic translation for “Holy Child” will be the new brand from this year onwards. It is to showcase the devotion of Overseas Filipino Workers in Dubai particularly in St. Mary’s Catholic Church Dubai.
Program includes the following:
- Procession around the church compound. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own Santo Niño image.
- Santo Niño images exhibit
- Dress Like Santo Niño Contest (open to Filipino and Non-Filipino children ages 7 years old and younger) https://smcfilipino.com/sto-nino-festiva…sto-nino-contest
