SANTACRUZAN IN PRINCE GEORGE
Announcing the SANTACRUZAN SA PRINCE GEORGE! It will be held on June 22, 2025, at Sacred Heart Cathedral (school grounds). This special event is sponsored by the Cathedral Migrant Ministry and the Organizing Committee from the Filipino-Canadian Community in Prince George. It will become part of the observance our parish feast day and of the month of June as Filipino Heritage Month in Canada.

Santacruzan is a popular Filipino Catholic tradition that originated as a way to commemorate and to re-tell the story of how Queen Helena, or “Reyna Elena,” mother of Constantine the Great, uncovered the Holy Cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Traditionally, it is held at the end of the month of May through a colorful pageant/parade of Queens (procession and singing of Ave Maria).

The celebration should also remind present followers of Jesus, of how he was crucified for our salvation. It’s a show of faith and hope for the salvation of the Cross offers. According to Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, “It is not a fashion show. It invites us to reflect on the Cross, and how through it, Jesus Christ made our salvation possible.”
