The 17th Santa Cruzan and Flores De Mayo special!

Firstly I would like to apologies for the late post, I've been very busy with university assessments but nevertheless I bring to you a wrap of the event that was.

This year's Santa Cruzan and Flores De Mayo was very much a successful event. The Mass was lead by Fr. Remy Lam who reminded the congregation about the sanctity of the Santa Cruzan and Flores De Mayo and Pentecost Sunday.

After the Mass was the procession on the grounds of All Saints. There were many participants in the procession, the angels, the flower girls, the Princesses and the Princes, the Reynas and escorts, including the Statue of the Virgin Mary who was followed by a procession of people praying the Rosary. Although I couldn't help but notice that mid prayer the procession halted just outside of the hall, I guess the prayer to procession walking space ratio wasn't equal. Oh well, that's something to improve on for next year: walk slower.

As soon as you walked inside the hall you couldn't help but be struck by the excellent decorations on centre stage, courtesy of Tito Mario Saguin and his decoration assistants.

The was an abundance of Filipino food and deserts and entertainment from Chelsea Okan, Terry Spencer, Filipino Cultural Dancing, Australia's Got Talent contestants Kookies n Kreme and many more.

As mentioned before the Santa Cruzan and Flores De Mayo was very much a successful event and wouldn't have been so without all the efforts of the Fil-Oz Liverpool and Districts, so a big congratulations and thank you to each member. To those who attended, this yearly event is produced every year to exhibit the beautiful Filipino not just for you but also the wider community, thank for your attendance I know for a fact that it is very much appreciated by the Fil-Oz community.

Now as promised, the photos from the Santa Cruzan and Flores De Mayo.
