The Tree of Miracles Makes Its Debut!

On Sunday, March 10th, the Tree of Miracles made its debut at the Chapel of San Lorenzo Ruiz. The Tree of Miracles is a fundraiser that helps support FAMILYYA, the Family, Youth, and Young Adult Ministry, at the Chapel of San Lorenzo Ruiz.

Proceeds for the month of March will go towards sponsoring

the Stations of the Cross Art Contest & Concert.

How does the Tree of Miracles work? Take a red envelope. Write your petition. Place your donation in the red envelope and write the donation amount on the flap. Then, a member of FAMILYYA will be there to assist you in hanging up your red envelope on the Tree of Miracles. Then watch your miracle grow! *Money will be collected and recorded at the end of the day while the red envelopes remain on the Tree of Miracles until the end of the month.

FAMILYYA Lessons: What is Liturgy?

LITURGY

Rev. Dr. Joseph G. Marabe, JCD introduces us to the fundamentals of the liturgy in the Catholic tradition.

Welcome to FAMILYYA

Hello all!

Welcome to FAMILYYA- the Family, Youth, and Young Adult Ministry of the Chapel of San Lorenzo Ruiz in New York City!

FAMILYYA aims to bring the Filipino-American Catholic community of New York closer together through meaningful lessons on the liturgy and through service.

FAITH

• The main focus of FAMILYYA will be on the spiritual aspects of the Catholic faith by attending First Friday Mass and the Friday novena and teaching participants about liturgy. These lessons will be taught by Chapel Moderator Rev Dr. Joseph G. Marabe, JCD.

SERVICE

• Participants will also be trained in the parts of the Mass, including training them to be lectors, choir members, altar servers, and ushers. With these skills, participants of FAMILYYA will sponsor Mass every first Friday.

COMMUNITY

• FAMILYYA will focus on the social aspect of the Chapel by hosting fellowship after Friday novena and First Friday Mass and hosting other events including a concert series. The Chapel also represents a cultural hub as it is the only chapel in America designated for the Filipino community.
