Santo Niño Mass and Celebration
JANUARY 30TH, 2026 5:30 PM - AMHS CHAPEL
All are welcome to the second annual Santo Niño Mass and Celebration at Archbishop Mitty on Friday, January 30th. The evening begins in the Chapel at 5:30 p.m. with mass and then a potluck celebration in the Aymar Events Center. All families are welcome. Please RSVP.
The celebration of the feast of Santo Niño is a beautiful expression of the wedding between the Christian faith and Filipino culture. Santo Niño symbolizes, on the one hand, the introduction of the Christian faith to the Filipino people. Santo Niño also symbolizes the celebration of Filipino culture. The relic of Santo Niño is the first Christian image that set foot on Philippine soil, originally as a gift from explorer Ferdinand Magellan to Rajah Humabon and his chief consort in recognition of their baptism in 1521.
As Archbishop Mitty High School seeks to be a community full of many different faces and stories, it is important to acknowledge and honor the customs that our students, families, faculty and staff hold dearly.
Please join us!
