PASKUHAN SA MAPLEWOOD
St. Joseph Church

Featuring:
MISA NG BAYANG FILIPINO (FILIPINO COMMUNITY MASS) - This is a monthly Filipino Community Mass held here at St. Joseph Church. For years, it has attracted a lot of Filipinos both in St. Joseph Parish and the nearby parishes.
MGA AWITING PAMASKO - Philippine Christmas is not complete without music, and the season is celebrated by Filipinos through caroling. An added highlight in our PASKUHAN sa MAPLEWOOD is the KAROLING - Lights and Sound Style featuring Filipino Christmas Songs and Traditional Christmas Carols. We will be singing together these Carols by Candlelight. I believe you will love this.
PAROL - Up again this year are, 15 (fifteen) beautiful PHILIPPINE PAROLS which were flown from the Philippines. Parol represents the Filipino innovation, creativity and it is the greatest expression of Christmas spirit. Parol has become the most recognizable Christmas ornament for Filipinos not just in the Philippines, but in any country where there is a Filipino community. Parol are usually made from “Capiz”, a type of shells and are intricately designed, these last long and can be used every year. The parol uplifts the spirit, instills a sense of pride and hope, it not only brightens Filipino Christmas, but it serves as an inspiration for Filipino ingenuity.
