WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A BOOTH?

 

Any organisation or entity are welcome to build their own booth during the Fiesta.  However, if electricity is needed, a basic utilities fee of 35 EUR is required.  After the event, a donation would be requested by the Tropa, as they make rounds in the area. It is up to the participant how much they would like to contribute.

The Fiesta ng Kabataang Pinoy was first held in August 2005, in time with the celebration of the World Youth Day in Cologne.  The activity was initiated by the Tropa ng Kabataang Pinoy sa Deutschland, a Filipino youth group from the Filipino community in the Archdiocese of Cologne.  Since then, the event has been held every other year.

 

The aim of the Fiesta is to gather the whole community to renew the faith in Jesus Christ and rediscover our Marian devotion as well as join together for a common cause. The responsibility is given to the youth for them to take their place in the Filipino society and give them an opportunity to know their heritage and unite them with the Church.

 

The benefits of the event are always distributed to the youth for their various activities as well as a particular charity programme in the Philippines.  For the coming year, part of the funds will be used to send 10 delegation to the World Youth Day celebration in Madrid, Spain.

WANT TO BE PART OF A BIG LIVING ROSARY?

 

The Living Rosary is a Marian devotion activity wherein a person represents one bead of the rosary and leads the prayer for that bead. 

DO YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE BEING A “SAGALA”?

 

During the month of May in the Philippines, a parade of beautiful young girls and children is organised by the Hermana Mayor or a prominent woman leader in the community.  This celebrates the month of the flowers and the story of the finding of the Holy Cross by Queen Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great.  To be a sagala, means to wear a beautiful gown and walk in a parade for all to see.

TOMBOLA atbp.

 

Tombola tickets will be available for sale at the different communities and during the event itself.  Each costs 0.50€ and the prizes are a 32 inch LCD TV, a Toshiba netbook, a TomTom navigator, Blu-Ray Player, Digital Camera, Smart Phone, Air Bed and Grill, plus other surprise prizes.
