San Juan Nepomuceno Parish Launches 'Be Like Saints Procession' to Make Halloween Holy Again

​FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

​PASAY CITY, October 26, 2025 – The San Juan Nepomuceno Parish in Malibay, Pasay City, is hosted a unique and spiritually uplifting event today, replacing the usual focus on ghouls and monsters with a celebration of virtue and faith. The parish proudly presentsed the “Be Like Saints Procession,” featuring children dressed as inspiring figures from Catholic history.

​The procession commenced today, Sunday, October 26, 2025, immediately following the 4:00 PM mass.

​This project is driven by a powerful educational goal: to teach young parishioners about the heroic and virtuous lives of the Saints. Instead of being drawn to the dark themes of modern Halloween, the event encourages children to emulate role models who demonstrated immense faith, courage, and charity.

​"In a world where children are constantly exposed to monsters and demons during the Halloween season, we want to offer a holy alternative," said Parish Priest Fr. John G. Barro. "Our message is clear: instead of Halloween, be like Saints. This is our way of trying to Make Halloween Holy Again."

​The highlight of the event will be the sight of 26 children, ranging in age, participating in the procession. Each child thoughtfully dressed as their favorite Saint, embodying the spirit of individuals. This act of dressing up serves as a tangible lesson, allowing the children to learn about and connect with these spiritual heroes.
