SunStar April 23, 2021 Today, April 24, 2021, Filipinos in New Zealand congregate in Hamilton City to mark the quincentennial of Christianity in the Philippines. This follows the launching mass in Hamilton on March 13 with Bishop Steve Lowe and the masses on April 4 in Auckland and Wellington to mark the first mass in Limasawa. All these activities were featured in articles written by Rowena Orejana and published in NZ Catholic, the Catholic newspaper of New Zealand. With the Covid-19 virus effectively contained in New Zealand, Filipinos have come in full force in events organized to commemorate the quincentennial.
In today’s celebration, the Waikato Filipino Association and the Filipino Chaplaincy of the Catholic Diocese of Hamilton have joined hands hoping to make a memorable program guided by the theme “Gifted to Give.” I’ve attended most of the preparations and am amazed by the commitment and dedication of people who have volunteered to various tasks.
