This major activity involving the participation of clergy and parishoners representing their respective parishes
within the Diocese was held at our home turf here at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima parish.

An overnight vigil led by the Parish Commission on Youth (PCY) from various parishes under the Malolos Diocese
was held starting Friday evening at the Museo Valenzuela located beside the National Shrine.

At 3:00am the next day the Immaculate Conception Image of the Malolos Diocese and the Jubilee Youth Cross was paraded
and brought inside the church by the youth. A video presentation on the theme, history, and expectations
for the future of the Malolos Diocese was presented and explained by various speakers.

Afterwards two nuns led the mass praying the Rosary followed by a Concelebrated Mass
led by the Malolos Diocese pastor Bishop Jose Francisco Oliveros.

The celebration was highlighted by the presentation of the Diocesan Awards given for the exceptional performance in the
past year of deserving parishoners representing various parishes under the Diocese of Malolos. Congratz to one and all!
