This is a festive liturgical celebration sponsored by the Catholic Filipino Ministry and Evangelization and the three Cebuano Communities in the Triangle. It begins with an outdoor procession with the recitation of the Holy Rosary, immediately followed by the Sacred Liturgy proclaimed in the dialect spoken by San Pedro Calungsod, Cebuano. The principal celebrant and homilist will be the Rev. Archie Macaroncio Tacay, CICM. Fr. Archie is a native of the Philippines. A traditional Filipino Fiesta follows, featuring famous Filipino dishes fit for the occasion.

Bishop Zarama will be the guest of honor at the Benefit for Life Gala, sponsored by Birthchoice. The keynote speaker at the Gala will be Daniel Ritchie. Born without arms, and being told through much of his life that he was “a hopeless mistake,” Ritchie heard God’s message that he was actually, “fearfully and wonderfully made” and has since preached across the South sharing his inspirational, life-giving story.

Bishop Zarama will be blessing the offices of the The Foundation of the Diocese of Raleigh.

In order to financially sustain and enhance our spiritual, charitable and educational ministries Bishop Zarama has determined that our present approach to development and financial stewardship should be realigned. To this end, a number of steps are being taken -- namely, the establishment of The Foundation of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Raleigh (“The Foundation”).
