The Filipino Ministry of the Archdiocese of LA celebrates its 19th Marian Santacruzan May Crowning on Saturday, May 11, 2024 at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels.
2:30 PM Pre-procession
3:00 PM Mass
Rev. Fr. Rodel G. Balagtas, Liaison of the Filipino Ministry of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and Pastor of Incarnation Church in Glendale, will celebrate the Mass.
The Santacruzan was first held in the 1800s at Malolos, Bulacan in the Philippines. It is a religious procession commemorating the quest of Queen Helena of Constantinople and her son, Constantine the Great, to find the True Cross: the cross that is said to be the one upon which Jesus was crucified. It has since become part of Filipino tradition focused on youth and their devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
