Holy Mary, Mother of God Faith Community of Hampton Roads, VA

Although God Himself is the source, summit and end of devotion, the observance of devotional practices among Filipinos seem more magnified on the Blessed Virgin Mother. They trust Mary will bring them closer to Jesus and to eventual union with the Father.

The Holy Mary, Mother of God Faith Community of Hampton Roads, Virginia, came into being in 2010 to continue the same reflective practices honoring Santa Maria, Madre de Dios. By using the generic name of Mary, the group declares its inclusiveness, inviting others to a common celebration.

The Faith Community honors Mary with a Pilgrims’ Cruise on board the magnificent tourist vessel, Victory Rover, plying the Norfolk Harbor and viewing along the way America’s mighty Fleet. Other annual activities include Eucharistic Celebrations and a Birthday Bash for Mary on a date close to September 8.
