Dear Fellow Pilgrims,
Greetings of peace and joy!
August 17—the 2nd Annual Filipino Pilgrimage—is just around the corner!
It will be a potluck! To help guide everyone in preparing and to ensure a balanced spread of dishes, here are some suggested meals you may consider bringing:
✓ Pork-Chicken Adobo – a timeless favorite
✓ Palabok – always a hit at gatherings
✓ Pancit – perfect for sharing and symbolizing long life
✓ Sinigang na Baboy – comforting and full of flavor
✓ Pinakbet – a hearty vegetable classic
That said, please feel free to bring your own specialty or any dish that reflects your region, family tradition, or personal flair. Whether it’s a savory main course, a sweet dessert, or a refreshing drink, your contribution will surely be appreciated.
Let’s make this gathering not only spiritually enriching, but also a true feast of flavors and fellowship!
We look forward to a joyful and meaningful time together. May God bless all our efforts and continue to guide our pilgrimage.
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Rosanno P. Soriano, MS
Chaplain
