Maribojoc celebrates new feast day of St. Vincent Ferrer

UNLIKE in the previous years, the town of Maribojoc now celebrates its town fiesta within the fiesta month of May. Last May 05, 2005 was a historical day for this coastal town when the Holy Cross Parish was declared a Diocesan Shrine of St. Vincent Ferrer, in honor of their most revered patron saint, which also signaled the change of the town's fiesta from the then November 24 to May 05 of each year.

Bishops Leopoldo Tumulak, D.D. apostolic administrator of the Diocese of Tagbilaran and Romulo Valles, D.D. bishop of the Diocese of Kidapawan in North Cotabato will be the main celebrants of the Pontifical mass on May 05, at 9:30 in the morning. Fr. Efren Dolauta, parish priest, Fr. Johnson Inte, parish vicar and Priscillano Echavia, PPC-chairman will lead church officials and leaders in welcoming the guests and visitors during the fiesta celebration.

Various activities have been lined-up to make the fiesta celebration more colorful and memorable. The daily novena will start on April 26 and ends on May 04. A fluvial procession will be held on May 04, (Vesper Day) at 3 p.m. which will start at the historic Pta. Cruz Watch Tower and ends at the Maribojoc Wharf in San Juan, Poblacion, Maribojoc. A holy mass will be officiated by the priests of the Vicariate of our Lady of Light at 5:00 in the Afternoon on May 04, after which a procession will follow and a glittering fireworks display will immediately follow after the procession courtesy of Wow Fireworks and Hamilton Merchandising.
