First and foremost, ALL glory and thanks to God! This weekend would not be possible without His guidance, His grace, and the many blessings He continues to pour over our communities. We humbly thank you Heavenly Father. Please continue to guide us and to help us keep you at the forefront of everything we do 🙏🏼
To Bay Area Tongan Catholic Lataki Committee, thank you so much for putting together a weekend that gathered Latakis from near and far to celebrate our shared faith and culture! Thank you for the time, sacrifice, and love you put into making this weekend so meaningful for all of us 🫶🏽
To every Lataki across the Bay Area and the United States, thank you for traveling from all over to our Api Siasi this weekend. It was a joy to come together in faith, celebrate our beautiful culture, create new friendships, reconnect with familiar faces, and be reminded that through Christ, we are one family.
Last but most certainly not the least.. To our home team, our Shoreview community, thank you for walking this journey with us from the very beginning. Your love and support have been our greatest source of strength. Our amazing Punake, our talented Faihiva, to every current & former member, leader, parent, and supporter who helped shape San Mateo Lataki into what it is today, MALO AUPITO🙏🏼. Your sacrifices, dedication, and faith created something far greater than yourselves. We are honored to carry on the legacy you have entrusted to us and we hope to continue making our community proud for years to come.
All the love,
San Mateo Lataki 🩵
