First Saturday Novena and Mass in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary at St. Nicholas Church Laguna Woods, CA in 2025

Mary Ann Puzon, FFRGOC First Vice President at St. Nicholas Church

FFRGOC has been doing this devotion of praying the novena and having a mass in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary every First Saturday of the Month usually from October to June sponsored by the South Chapter at St. Nicholas Church in Laguna Hills, CA. This FFRGOC chapter championed this cause by hosting and providing light meals to all attendees.

Per Mary Ann Puzon, they are particularly thankful to South Area 1 led by Mary Joyce Domingo who led the novena and rosary and providing snacks to everyone.

In another article I have written last July 13, 2021 I have introduced to everyone as to what, why and how we honor the Blessed Virgin Mary even during the COVID times.

It is heartwarming to all of us in FFRGOC that we have husband and wife team, Glenn and Mary Ann Puzon, who always make sure we have a mass and novena at St. Nicholas Church in Laguna Woods, CA which was remodeled so beautifully lately.

Through the guidance of our spiritual director, Father Jose Caboboy and our Board/Area officers and members including our very active mentor and advisor, Debbie Gonzales ,

the tradition continued on from an old church to the new remodeled St. Nicholas Church.

Novena and Mass took place on the following dates:

1. January 04, 2025

2. February 01, 2025

3. March 01, 2025

4. April 05, 2025
