SANTO TOMAS NOVENA SCHEDULE

July 9, 2007

‘Know the 1st Novena Host: Dodong & Annalee Gorre-Famas

20070709060037863_1_original.jpgThe first of the 9-Saturday Novena in honor of Danao City’s Patron Saint, Santo Tomas de Villanueva, will be held in Simi Valley, California at the residence of Adolfo and Annalee Famas-Gorre.

The first novena kicks off the fiesta season observed by Danawanons in Southern California, perhaps the longest in the world – from July to September. Nearly a hundred Santo Tomas devotees, mainly Danawanaons, are expected to attend the mass and novena to be officiated by Fr. Paul Mayor, SVD, chaplain of the St. Vincent Hospital.

The very active DAUSA couple, Adolfo and Annalee Gorre-Famas, both registered nurses at Cedars’ Sinai Medical Center of Los Angeles, is hosting the first novena.

Dodong is originally from Oroquita, Misamis, but almost every year since DAUSA started the medical mission in 1998, has been a medical mission volunteer along with his wife Annalee.

Annalee is the daughter Crispina Gorre, and Anacleto “Quito” Gorre of Danao City, now U.S. permanent residents.
