Sunday, May 26Filipino - American Flores de Mayo Celebration
9:30 Mass with outdoor procession around the block (weather permitting), rosary, and cookout following.
Santacruzan, is a Catholic festival in the Philippines that honors the discovery of the Holy Cross. The name comes from the Spanish word “Santa Cruz”, which translates to “Holy Cross". It honors the finding of the True Cross by Helena (known as Reyna Elena), mother of Constantine the Great. It is a religious cultural tradition that portrays the Blessed Mother as the Queen of all Queens, the greatest woman of all. It is a reminder that God has bestowed the highest honor of the human race to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The procession is also a powerful witness to the many women in Scripture who have given us an example of true love of God.
Santacruzan, is part of the larger “Flores de Mayo” celebration, which takes place in May and translates to "Flowers of May.” This is a festival celebrated throughout the Philippines and among many Filipino communities. It is one of the May devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary and lasts for the entire month.
