The Filipino Community and the Diversity Team of CCOP invites you to celebrate “Flores de Mayo” on May 20, 2011, after the 12 noon mass at St Augustine.
Flores de Mayo, which in Spanish means "Flowers of May", refers to the floral festival in the month of May in tribute to the Virgin Mary. This Philippine tradition, filled with pageantry and processions, commemorates the search for the Holy Cross and its return to Rome, by St. Helena (Queen of Rome) and her son, the emperor Constantine, who, after having recently converted to Christianity, led his armies to victory under the symbol of the Holy Cross.
Immediately after the 12 noon mass with flowers in hand, we will process to the Grotto, with songs honoring Mary, a short prayer service, and a special crowning of our Blessed Mother. Refreshments will be served at the Faith Formation area. Please contact: Remy (925) 846-8679, Jojo (925) 999-9533 or Tony (925) 487-4160 for more information.
