The vibrant St. Isidore Fiesta recently brought together members of the Filipino community in a joyous celebration of faith, culture, and unity. Held in honor of St. Isidore, the patron saint of farmers and laborers, the event was a testament to the power of community and devotion.

The fiesta's highlight was the beautiful Mass, beautifully accompanied by the melodious voices of the Te Awamutu Choir. The ceremony brought together attendees in prayer and song, filling the atmosphere with spirituality and joy.

After the Mass, the community came together to share in traditional Filipino food, delicious lechons, and other delicacies. The air was filled with lively music and laughter as families and friends gathered to celebrate and bond over good food and warm company.

Heartfelt gratitude was extended to all who contributed to the celebration's success, including the families who hosted novenas, generous donors, and dedicated volunteers. Special thanks were given to Fr. Ralph Barcelo, Fr. Ritchie Maguinda, and Deacon Noel Pedin for celebrating the Mass with the community.

More than just a celebration, the St. Isidore Fiesta reflected the community's strong bonds and shared values. As attendees departed, they carried with them cherished memories of a joyous celebration and a renewed sense of connection to one another and their faith.

The fiesta's success serves as a reminder of the importance of community and the role of faith in uniting people. We eagerly look forward to the next celebration, inspired by the spirit of St. Isidore that continues to bring us together.
