Penafrancia Fiesta 2009 in Gainesville, Georgia

9/09/2009 | Posted by Anonymous | Edit Post

Surogon mo ngani kami
Ta ika namomo'otan mi.
----Bicol Religious Hymn

The celebration of Ina who is venerated as the Patroness of Bicol is mainly centered in Naga City where the celebration is about to start on September 11, 2009. Similarly in various places of the world where Bicolanos are, the merry remembrance of Nuestra Senora de Penafrancia is a traditional rallying point to express faith, camaraderie, cooperation, and sense of oneness with the community.

With the recall of Divino Rostro (Divine Face,) the celebration also focuses on Jesus, our savior whose redemptive suffering in Calvary is memorialized in Veronica's holy imprint of his face.

From Dacula, Georgia, Dr. Lino Mercurio who is originally from Buhi, Camarines Sur sent us their wonderful plan this September. Sponsored by generous families of the area, novena prayers will be held in honor of Ina and the Divino Rostro.

Imbued with tradition and lore, the beautiful religious activity of the diaspora recapitulates the observance in Bicol Region on its 299th year. It will be capped with fluvial procession and a feast at Lake Lanier in Gainesville sponsored by Georgia's Sarung Banggi on Saturday, September 19, 2009.

Fr. Rodolfo Cal Ortiz, a Bicolano priest from Houston, Texas will officiate in the solemn mass. Everyone is invited. Those who wish to attend the happy fiesta may contact the phone numbers below. (Photo Credits: Dr. Lino Mercurio) =0=

It also jumpstarts the sacred evening novena in honor of Our Lady of Penafrancia and the Divine Face (Divino Rostro) to be offered by Bicolanos worldwide on the eve of 300 years of devotion.

The fiesta this year will have the solemn concelebrated mass, fluvial parade, and cultural program which will be on September 19, 2009 at the Liberty State Park, CRRNJ Terminal Bldg., 1 Zapp Drive, New Jersey. Everyone is cordially invited.

In Bicol, the translacion is a traditional procession which marks the transfer of the image of Nuestra Senora de Penafrancia from her village shrine in Balatas, to the historic Naga City Metropolitan Cathedral where a nine-day novena is slated by pilgrims and devotees.

The prayers and religious activities will culminate with the fluvial procession in Naga River on Saturday, September 19, 2009. The procession will be followed with a day of thanks on Sunday, ending the grand faith-based celebration. =0=

Remembering Mother Mary on the Feast of the Assumption

Feast of the Assumption of Mary to Heaven
Saturday, August 15, 2009

“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me and holy is his Name.

He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, and has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he has remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.”
