Feast of the Santo Niño | January 18, 2026

Today, the feast of the Santo Niño was established to honor Jesus Christ. The Santo Niño is a sacred image which is connected with the very beginning of Christianity in the Philippines. The small statue now in Cebu, the Santo Niño de Cebu, arrived with Magellan and his crew, and it has remained here for over 500 years – an enduring symbol of the presence of the Lord in the Philippines and of the enduring love of the Filipino people for Jesus Christ.

Special readings have been chosen for the feast so that the word of God can give us a deeper appreciation of the identity and the mission of the Holy Child. This Child was spoken of long ago by the prophet Isaiah. In today’s first reading, he proclaims, “For a child is born to us, a son is given us; upon his shoulder dominion rests. They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.” It is a prophecy of the Messiah, who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.

The Philippines has endured much suffering in the past 500 years, but the Sto. Niño has been with us the whole time. As humble children of God, let us adore him, and strive to imitate him in joyful obedience to the will of our heavenly Father.

Sa bawat pagkakamali....
Dito tayo lumalago at natututo..🫶

"Nag altar server ka pa...
Tapos ganyan naman ugali mo."

Madalas mo din ba itong marinig sa ibang tao kapag may kakilala silang Isang taong naglilingkod sa simbahan?

Paserve serve kapa, ganyan naman ugali mo!

Ganyan kadalasan ang naririnig natin sa iba.
Hindi po porket na Sakristan ka, Comi, Lector, Choir, Seminarista, Pari at kung ano ano pa na naglilingkod sa simbahan
ay perpekto na at hindi na nagkakamali.

Pero, kahit na ganito ang mga panghuhusga sa amin, hinding hindi mawawala sa'min itong kasabihang ito, lalong lalo na sa'ting mga Lingkod altar.

"For once an altar server, an altar server forever."
