Fiesta of Our Lady of Fatima Parish

Fatima Parish in Basak Mandaue City, Cebu is once again celebrating its annual fiesta in honor of Our Lady of Fatima. There were series of activities which lasted for a week and culminated in a mass celebrated by no less than our beloved Cardinal Vidal. Take a glimpse of the fiesta...

People were seen arriving at the church for the fiesta mass celebration. Candle and balloon vendors can be seen hawking their wares. Of course, balloons are a fixtures even during ordinary Sundays...

People slowly filled up the church and it was starting to overflow...

Inside - the church was already full as people waited for the mass to begin...

While outside - the altar boys were seen preparing to line up and patiently waited for the Cardinal to start the mass...

The Cardinal is about to make the entrance to the church to start the mass...

Offertory part - people brought flowers and other offerings...

After the mass - people patiently lined up to pay homage to the Lady of Fatima...

While others lighted candles outside the church and offered some personal prayers.

This is how it was in the years that passed. How it will probably be for years to come, unless the people's faith will change...

See you again next fiesta!
