The Mass, at which Archbishop John Nienstedt presided, was part of the Filipino community’s 10th annual Sinulog Festival to honor the feast of Santo Niño, the child Jesus. The celebration originates from the Visayas, islands in the middle part of the Philippines, where they honor their patron, Santo Niño, every third Sunday in January. The event drew about 400 people from around the Twin Cities. Photo by Dianne Towalski / The Catholic Spirit
