Fiesta Señor 2026 - Santo Nino Leicester

Objectives:

To give honour and tribute to the Infant Jesus and make Him more known and loved by promoting the devotion to Señor Santo Niño de Cebu. In a more practical way, to fundraise by donation envelopes as our ‘Halad kang Señor’ (Offering for our Lord) in the least, lost and last of society channelled through a chosen charitable organisation.
To foster fellowship among devotees and friends through the communal prayers and worship -- 9-days novena & the feastday Solemn Mass -- and the celebration of the feast-eve Sinulog Festival.
To continue to grow in our Christian faith through reading and study of the Scriptures and our Church's teachings during the 9-day novena: both at our virtual communal prayers and through social media evangelisation (Facebook & X posts).
To journey together (synod) both internally and externally in gratefully celebrating our grand 25th Anniversary Celebrations (25th Fiesta Señor): renewed, refreshed & reinvigorated to the next 25 years and beyond.

Main Theme

SEÑOR SANTO NIÑO,LEAD US IN JOURNEYING TOGETHER TOWARDS YOU,OUR FULLNESS OF LIFE

(Santo Niño Leicester Synod 2023-2026)

“The whole People of God is an agent of the proclamation of the Gospel. Every baptised person is called to be a protagonist of mission since we are all missionary disciples.” (ITC 53) Let us re-commit ourselves to proclaim the Word of God lived by our very own lives and to spread the devotion to Christ (cf. Santo Nino Leicester vision-mission statement).

May this be our prayer:

Señor Santo Niño, our Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ, we give thanks for the past 25 years as your community of devotees. We entrust ourselves as we journey on together for the next 25 years and beyond following Your lead. Send forth your renewing Spirit to help us strive to transform our hearts to become more and more patterned unto Your heart -- like that of children with trust-filled faith in our Creator Father -- and so to merit to "enter the kingdom of heaven" (Mt 18:3). Amen.

VIVA PIT SEÑOR!!!
