Feast of the Filipino Martyrs Mass

Saint John Vianney Catholic Church (map)
Every year the Diocese of San Jose solemnly commemorates the Feast of the Filipino Martyrs, honoring the witness and sacrifice of San Lorenzo Ruiz de Manila and San Pedro Calungsod. These saints embody faithfulness amid persecution: San Lorenzo Ruiz, the first Filipino saint, remembered for his steadfast confession of Christ unto death; and San Pedro Calungsod, a young catechist and missionary who gave his life proclaiming the Gospel. The diocesan celebration blends prayer, Eucharistic liturgy, and communal reflection, inviting the faithful to emulate their courage, humility, and love for the Philippines and the wider Church.
