Your unwavering dedication, generosity, and faithful service transformed the BAYANIHAN GALA 2026, held last May 2, 2026 at Knott's Berry Farm Hotel, into a truly extraordinary celebration of faith, culture, and unity. From the depths of our hearts, we offer our sincerest gratitude to Bishop Kevin Vann for his spiritual leadership and steadfast support; to the clergy of Alagad ni Maria, especially Fr Peter Lavin, for their guidance and devotion; to our major sponsors, donors, and advertisers whose generosity helped make this sacred mission possible; to our beloved priests & Deacons of the Diocese who graced our event; to our parish representatives, Hijos and Hijas, Rondalla, Barkadahan Dance Troupe, BDT parents, PJNFCC volunteers, the Officers and Members of our DOSJFM Board, and every Gala volunteer whose tireless efforts, sacrifices, and love brought this vision to life.
To all our honored guests who attended, thank you for your presence, support, and belief in our shared dream. Through your collective bayanihan spirit, we continue to strengthen and sustain the mission of the P**ng Jesus Nazareno Filipino Catholic Center—the only active Filipino Catholic Center in the United States.
May our beloved P**ng Jesus Nazareno bless each of you abundantly, protect your families, guide your paths, and reward your goodness with His endless grace. Together, we have not only built an event, but strengthened a legacy of faith, service, and Filipino unity for generations to come.
*Stay tuned for the Gala photos & video that will be shared. God bless.
