September 14 - Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross

Catholics in the Filipino Community in Barcelona, like elsewhere in the world, celebrated the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on September 14, which commemorates the historical discovery and exaltation of the True Cross and the salvific death of Jesus Christ through His cross. 

Fr. Lino de Castro, who also was celebrating his 29th year of priesthood delivered a homily explaining that the feast celebrates God's grace, the triumph over sin and death, and encouraged the faithful to embrace their own "crosses" in life and unite them with Christ's sacrifice for the hope of salvation.
