HISTORY OF THE MISA NG BAYAN
The People’s Mass is an annual Holy Mass of the Fil-Am Community,
organized by the Migrant Heritage Commission (MHC), to thank our
Creator for the continuous blessings and guidance for sustained
Immigration of the Filipinos to the U.S. In line with Migrant Heritage
Commission’s institutional programs, it is a way of honoring and
saluting the Filipino Migrants for their vital contributions to the US
society and in helping sustain the Philippine economy. It is a well-
attended event of various Fil-Am organizations and community
members bringing people together in God’s grace and to foster a
culture of unity and service.
