The past weekend, Sacred Heart church, in Kilburn, London, was home to the Sinulog 2023 celebrations. The Sinulog-Santo Niño Festival is a big festival held on the third Sunday of January every year in the Philippines and, as you can see from these photos, was well-celebrated by the Filipino communities here!
Oblates exercise very diverse ministries but above all seek to dedicate themselves to the poor and abandoned. One can thus find Oblates in Britain and Ireland working in parishes, in missionary formation, preaching, social justice and pastoral ministries, or prisons. “No ministry is alien to us as long as we never lose sight of the main purpose of the Congregation: the evangelization of the most abandoned.” ~ Oblate Constitutions and Rules.
