Still a few months away from the next Catholic Information Center annual Eucharistic Mass and Procession but already looking forward to it. Was such a privilege to lead those intercessions on behalf of Father Charles Trullols back in 2024. Hope to be privileged again to do so this year! #ThanksBeToGod #Lector @WashArchdiocese

Pray for us #SaintPatrick 🙏 Grateful to once again join His Eminence Cardinal Robert McElroy and some of my favorite priests from the Archdiocese of Washington for this year’s annual Mass for the Patron Saint of the people of #Ireland #ThanksBeToGod 🇮🇪 ☘️ @WashArchdiocese

Closer and closer we get to #EasterSunday! Great join my friend Greydon and others for #LaetareSunday #Mass this morning at St. Patrick’s! #ThanksBeToGod @WashArchdiocese @Greydon_T

Some pre #Lenten season memories with Father James Morrison! Can’t wait to chill with you again soon enough. Thx for always making me feel like an honorary parishioner at Our Lady Queen of the Americas Catholic Church! Let the good times roll…#ThanksBeToGod #ThrowbackThursday @WashArchdiocese

Team ASEAN…Association of Southeast Asian Nations! Gotta make sure to always roll up sharp at all those #ASEAN diplomatic events! #BarongTagalog #LunarNewYear #ManigongBagongTaon

Great to usher in the Year of the Fire Horse with newly arrived Director Elania Luk of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO).

Not sure what this #Lenten season holds for me but deeply grateful to begin this year’s journey with dear friend and spiritual adviser Father Joseph McHenry. Asking my #Catholic #Christian followers to please include him your prayers this #Lent. #AshWednesday #ThanksBeToGod @WashArchdiocese @msgrjameson

Following the success of our Knights of Columbus fall membership drive last November at the Cathedral of Saint Matthew the Apostle, grateful to once again represent our Potomac Council this weekend to speak with parishioners at St. Patrick’s. Shoutout to Father Lewis for generously granting us this opportunity. #VivatJesus #KnightsofColumbus #ChancellorRealiza @KofC @WashArchdiocese

Grateful for the chance to reprise my role as Master of Ceremonies at this year’s annual #LunarNewYear celebration at the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City presented in collaboration with the Asian American Chamber of Commerce! Such a rich tapestry of arts, culture and music. A truly memorable way to ring in the Year of the Horse! A special shoutout to my friends at Diplomatic Watch for capturing the moment too! #ManigongBagongTaon #HappyNewYear 🧧 🐴 🐎 @FashionCtrPC @AsianAmCham @Diplo_Watch

Missing my favorite #Lolo in the world. Still a little heartbroken 💔 that you weren’t here to celebrate my latest birthday back in November 🎂 , celebrate the Christmas season 🎄 and usher in the New Year 🎆 . Sana ipagpatuloy mo ang pag-gabay mo ako sa’kin lalong-lalo na tungkol sa lahat ng mga bagay na pinagdadaanan ko ngayon. 🙏 #SalamatSaDiyos #DaghangSalamat #MaramingSalamat

Extending a very belated birthday tribute to Father Isaac Sagastume! Like with Father Joe, I’m extremely grateful for your continuous #Catholic spiritual guidance and counsel these past few years since officially making the Cathedral my home parish. #FelizCumpleaños #Felicidades #SomosHermanos #SomosAmigos #SomosDC @msgrjameson @WashArchdiocese

#Throwback to last month’s 5:00 am #Filipino #SimbangGabi Masses at Saint Ann’s Catholic Church in Arlington, Virginia! Really neat to reprise my role as the closing #Tagalog prayers novena leader for the community. Until next time #SalamatSaDiyos #ThanksBeToGod! @arlingtonchurch

Missing the people of #Cebu #Philippines most especially with the recent annual #Sinulog festival paying tribute and homage to our beloved #SantoNiño this past weekend. Even though I couldn’t be there for this year’s celebration, I still wholeheartedly entrust my prayers to you from afar. As we say in #Cebuano “Ginoo, paminawa ang among pag-ampo.” Lord hear our prayers. #VivaPitSeñor #VivaPitSenyor 🙏 ⛪️

Never ending parish visits in the Archdiocese of Washington! With only 6 months left as Chancellor of our #KnightsofColumbus Potomac Council gotta make sure to strengthen each one of our respective parishes as much as possible. Grateful again to Father Mark Ivany and Father Alex Wyvill for the warm welcome last weekend at Saint Mary Mother of God in #Chinatown. #ThanksBeToGod #VivatJesus @WashArchdiocese
