Feast of San Lorenzo Ruiz

San Lorenzo Ruiz de Manila was the first Filipino Saint canonized in Manila, Philippines by Pope John Paul II in Oct. 18, 1987. The St. George Filipino American Association first introduced to celebrate the Feast of San Lorenzo in the year 1998 at St. George Parish. The generous couple Efren and Rexcee Esguerra and family donated the statue of San Lorenzo. The picture icon was painted and donated by Sister Marie Fitzpatrick.


A 9-day novena is recited prior to the celebration of the feast. The feast of San Lorenzo is celebrated every year on a Sunday nearest to the 28th of September. The statue of the Saint is processed at the beginning of the Sunday mass and followed by the parishioners and guests with statues, icons, and prayer booklets and blessed by the priest.
