Iglesia Filipina Independiente
Our Worship and Fellowship
 
 
 

The Holy Eucharist, commonly called the Mass, is the central act of Christian worship. It is the sacrament of our redemption by Christ's death and resurrection. Those who partake of the consecrated bread and wine receive the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. All who desire to receive it should diligently examine their lives, repent of their sins, and be in love and charity with all people. The benefits we receive in the Eucharist are the forgiveness of our sins, the strengthening of our union with Christ and one another, and the foretaste of the heavenly banquet which is our nourishment in eternal life.


The Eucharist also incorporates the healing sacrament within the service. Laying-on of hands and anointing of oil with prayer is administered to those who are sick. This is for the strengthening of their souls and, if it be God’s will, their restoration to health.

Singing traditional and contemporary Filipino hymns enhances the worship experience of the congregation.


Our communal gathering is extended to the fellowship hour after the worship service. This is also a time of sharing and enjoying different Filipino cuisine during potluck.
