The venue for these religious events is the Mary Queen of the Universe National Shrine at 8300 Vineland Ave Orlando, FL 32821. We are proud to have our bishop as celebrant on all these events. Indeed, we are grateful and inspired all the more to actively participate and to prepare our filipino communities all over the diocese for these spiritual events. Under the leadership of our filipino clergy and lay ministers we look forward to experiencing more unity and cohesiveness in these our future celebrations of faith, witness and outreach. Mark your calendars!

Welcome

Welcome to everyone who wish to be part of a growing ethnic minority group in the diocese of Orlando. Know their stories, key liturgical celebrations, ministries and aspirations. Representatives comprised of Filipino-Americans of all ages from the various parishes within the diocese weave a colorful tapestry depicting ways Filipino-Americans deal and interact with one another through liturgy, music, dance and outreach. We hope that you would find joy and hope paging through the archives, present activities and future events to strengthen the mission intentions of the ministry. Feel free to contact us for any feedback, insights or contributions to enhance and empower the people and friends who are behind this faith-filled endeavor. May the blessings of the Santo Nino, the intercessions of Our Lady of Antipolo and San Lorenzo Ruiz be with you and yours!
