General Announcements 

Mass and reception for Filipino Sinulog festival will be held at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral on Jan. 26

A rosary, Mass and reception for the traditional Filipino Sinulog festival will be celebrated at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral Parish, 1347 N. Meridian St., in Indianapolis, beginning at 1:30 p.m. on Jan. 26.

In the Philippines, the Sinulog—or Santo Niño—festival is a cultural and religious festival famous for its parades, street parties, elaborate costumes and dancing—the word “sinulog” is the name of a centuries-old Filipino ritualistic dance.

The festival is celebrated on the third Sunday of January. Its history began in 1521 when Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan gave a small statue of the Child Jesus to the king and queen of the Philippine province of Cebu, thus introducing the nation to Christianity.

The celebration begins with the praying of the rosary in the cathedral, followed by a Mass celebrated in Filipino (Tagalog). A reception with catered Filipino food will be held in the rectory after the Mass. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own Santo Niño (statue of the Child Jesus) for a blessing during the Mass.

All are invited to the rosary, Mass and meal. There is no cost for the meal, although freewill donations will be accepted.

For more information, contact Maria Solito at mariasolito@yahoo.com.

Indiana Youth Rally and March for Life in Indianapolis will take place on Jan. 22

The day starts with a youth rally for students in grades eight-12 from 9-11 a.m. in the Indiana Convention Center, 100 S. Capitol Ave. Catholic radio host, author and speaker Katie Prejean McGrady will address the youths during the rally, with music by the Sarah Kroger Band. The sacrament of reconciliation will also be available.

The youth rally is free, but registration is required at archindyym.com/youth-rally-for-life.

Following the rally, all are invited to worship at a Mass for Life at 11:30 a.m. in the convention center, concelebrated by four of Indiana’s five bishops (Bishop Robert J. McClory of the Gary Diocese is unable to attend.) No registration is required to worship at the Mass.

Right to Life of Indianapolis is coordinating the remaining events of the day—a pre-march rally, the Indiana March for Life and a post-march rally at the south steps of the Indiana Statehouse.

The pre-march rally with pro-life speakers will take place at 1 p.m. on the east side of Illinois Street at Georgia Street.

The Indiana March for Life will begin at 1:45 p.m. at the corner of Georgia and Illinois streets. It will conclude with a rally on the south steps of the Statehouse, 200 W. Washington St., from 2:30-3 p.m.
