Every October, St. Francis of Assisi – founder of the Franciscan Order, holds an annual Francisfest. 

And for this year, Francisfest will be having an 8-day online concert entitled: “Build My Church on a Song” featuring two world-class Asian opera singers – Rachelle Gerodias, the country's premier soprano, and her husband, Byeong In Park, South Korea’s well-renowned baritone – with a special message of hope from Jose Mari Chan. 

The concert will premiere on the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, October 4, Sunday, 8:00 pm and will run until October 11, Sunday, 11:00 pm. 

It can be viewed through the Santuario de San Antonio Parish YouTube channel and Facebook page.

For this year’s celebration, the theme will be “Come Build My Church”. As St. Francis heeded the call of the Lord to build His Church, we too can respond to this call by reaching out to various communities.
