Water Sustenance in the Sea of Sto. Niño Devotees

Bearing the tagline “Sinulog sa Maogmang Lugar” devotees from Naga City joined the celebration of the Feast of Señor Sto. Niño last January 21, 2018 from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm at Plaza Quezon.

The Archdiocese of Caceres through the Immaculate Conception Parish and the City Government of Naga jointly organized the festivity which showcased the Ati-Atihan Street Parade competition and Procession of Sto. Niño images from Panganiban Drive to Plaza Quezon followed by a Concelebrated Mass at 5 o’clock in the afternoon and fireworks display soon after.

The feast of Señor Sto. Niño has been a tradition widely acclaimed in the Philippines every year with grand celebrations in some parts of the country including Cebu, Aklan, and Iloilo. In the local scene, devotion was conveyed in the same manner with collaborative efforts from different government and private institutions.

The MNWD in support for the festivity and continued public service, provided hydration station and facilitated the distribution of water to the devotees, guests and participants. People of different ages filled the water station for refreshment throughout the event.

Last 17th of January, observance of the feast was also renowned at MNWD as it is the district’s patron saint, all employees engaged in the procession of the image within its premises.

Consequently, the MNWD was able to glorify the Catholic faith through the feast of Sto. Niño at the same time connect to its local constituents.

The call for public service will always and shall remain to be on top of MNWD’s priorities. – Auria Gonzales
