FILIPINO COMMUNITY IN BERLIN KEEPS SANTACRUZAN ALIVE
2 June 2025 – Under fair skies on a Sunday, the Santacruzan was kept alive by the Filipino community in Berlin with the traditional mass and procession around Heilig Geist Church.
Fr. Simon Boiser, S.V.D., Pastoral Head of the Catholic Community in Berlin, celebrated the Holy Mass and led the community in a procession with children dressed as angels and members of the community as sagalas parading under colorful floral arches and holding items to symbolize the virtues and the communities and historical figures they represent.
After the procession, the community was treated to a program of dance numbers and invited for the usual salo-salo.
