About us
Gathered by Grace, United in Christ, Sharing His Light to the World.
The Calgary Filipino Catholic Mass Ministry in Calgary emerged alongside the growing Filipino immigrant population in the city during the 1980s and 1990s, a time when Calgary became home to one of the largest Filipino communities in Canada. As newcomers sought a spiritual home that reflected their culture and traditions, local parishes began offering Filipino-language services, which quickly grew from occasional gatherings to large, well-attended celebrations.
Mission
To foster a spirit of sacrifice and dedication to the mission, encourage innovative approaches to share the message of God, and unite to build a vibrant community of believers that echoes Filipino faith and culture worldwide.
Vision
To illustrate the beauty of Filipino faith, traditions, and become an inspiration to others through outreach and service, that demonstrate the values of live, compassion, and generosity in everyday life.

I am the youngest of 11 children. To become a priest is my childhood dream and my parents, Anunciacion and Rex, were instrumental in my vocation. I always accompanied my mother to church when I was young and memorized the novena to the Mother of Perpetual Help….
