AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE AND ANNOUNCEMENT
 
Dear Salinian families and friends,
 
It is with contrite hearts that we come before you Lord. We would like to thank you for the many blessings that you have afforded us in our lives, especially for your mercy in allowing the scientists to discover the COVID-19 vaccine. Father, we thank you for everyone who has already gotten the vaccine and we pray for those individuals who are scared or hesitant to receive it.
 
The year 2020 was an “annus horribilis” (horrible year). A year that was filled with sorrow and grief; but Lord, thank you for each and everyone of our family members and friends that survived these painful months.  For those who we have lost, we are comforted by knowing that they are in paradise with you. May they continue to Rest in Eternal Peace.
 
Mama Mary, we may not be there yet, but we can see the horizon on which we will be getting our lives back to normal.
 
We look forward to the time when we can meet in person again, to celebrate the Grand Fiesta and Caracol of our Blessed Mother “Nuestra Senora Del Rosario Reina De Caracol “Although we may not be able to celebrate the  fiesta again this year, we celebrate you in our hearts daily and through the praying of the rosary. Thank you for never forsaking us. 
 
A small step in our return to normalcy will be the in person celebration of the 60th Annual Fiesta Holy Mass at Saint Charles Catholic Church, 990 Saturn Blvd San Diego, CA on Saturday May 29, 2021 at 7:00pm PT.  We may not be able to have a  group larger than 200 participants, but it is a start.

The Holy Mass will also be available via FB Live stream in the Salinas Association group page and will be broadcast simultaneously.

Dear Fellow Salinians and Friends,

In the wake of this crippling pandemic we are still struggling to achieve a sense of normalcy.

The Executive Officers of the Salinas Association of San Diego, Ca Inc., held a virtual meeting today to determine the future path that the association will take while still under the grip of COVID-19.

The following important topics were discussed and decisions were made:

 It was suggested  by the majority that the current President, Nhel Conde,  remain in office as President for the coming 60th Annual Town Fiesta 2020-2021. The Executive Officers approved the nomination; Nhel Conde accepted and it was ratified that she will continue as President.

It was our hope that we would be able to have the 59th Fiesta celebration later in the year. However, with the pandemic still raging, we realized that it would be impossible and irresponsible to even entertain the idea of having a 59th Annual Town Fiesta celebration.

Virtually we prayed the nine consecutive weekly novenas, celebrated the Holy Mass and danced the Caracol on May 24, 2020.

In today’s virtual meeting it was agreed by the Executive Officers that the actual 59th Fiesta celebration which was postponed  previously has now been cancelled based on the current COVID19 situation. Should we be fortunate enough to have a Town Fiesta celebration in May, 2021, it was decided to fuse the 59th and 60th Fiesta together to appease anyone who may feel that the 59th Fiesta was not celebrated. 

The President decided to combine the colors for the 60th Fiesta. The colors  will be blue and white. The blue will represent the 59th Fiesta and the white will represent the 60th Fiesta, should there have been a 60th stand alone celebration.

Since we are unable to meet in large groups and had to set aside casino bus trips and other in person fundraising activities; it has been agreed upon that effective today, all Association donations, including but not limited to, the annual Salinas Scholarship Fund and the annual donation to Santa Rosario Parish in Rosario Cavite, Philippines will be suspended until further notice. Should any member choose to make a voluntary donation to either of these causes, please contact Velen Pareja the Association’s Treasurer for further instructions.

May the grace and mercy of our Heavenly Father, the wisdom of the Holy Spirit and the blessings of our Mama Mary be with us always.

Let us continue to pray for a cure for and extinction of the Coronavirus!


Respectfully yours,

President Nhel Conde
Executive Officers
Salinas Association of San Diego Ca Inc.

Fifth Important Announcement

Dear Fellow Salinians, Families and Friends,

Thank you to all those who viewed the live streaming of the Holy Mass in honor of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary 59th Fiesta from Rosario, Cavite, Philippines on May 24th and in the United States on May 23rd.

We would also like to express a very special thank you to Reverend Father Alain Manalo who so graciously accepted and accomadated our request of celebrating the mass.

A heartfelt thanks to the Most Holy Rosary Parish Church in Rosario, Cavite for affording us the opportunity of having the Holy Mass there.

The mass culminated the end of our 59th Annual Fiesta season, in honor of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, until further notice.

 We are all one family in Christ Jesus. Therefore, let us continue to pray for each other unceasingly in the privacy of our own confines.

COVID-19 has changed the existence of the entire world’s behavior.  What was normal before is not normal anymore. We now struggle with the many rules and restrictions imposed upon us for our own safety.

Let us not be wary but turn to God asking for his mercy to sustain us.

We will continue to lift up each and every officer, member, family and friends of the Salinas Association of San Diego CA, Inc. in our daily prayer and wait patiently for the time when we will be able to gather again to celebrate the Fiesta in honor of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary.

Do not be afraid for God is with us!

March 29, 2020

Today we have made, with heavy hearts, the difficult decision to postpone the 59th Annual Salinas Fiesta for the health and safety of our officers, members and guests. The fiesta which was scheduled to take place on May 23-24, 2020 has been postponed indefinitely, until further notice. This is due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We would like to sincerely thank the nine novena host families, who so willingly and graciously continue the tradition of praying the rosary for nine consecutive Saturdays. We are forever grateful for your dedication and devotion to Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary.

Like the falcon, with God’s help and blessing we will rise again and continue this grand Fiesta tradition.

We place our trust in God for a cure for COVID-19 and give HIM all the Glory, Praise and Honor for all that he has Done.

Mama Mary, we thank you for your continued guidance and we forever lift you up in prayer.

We will provide you with further instructions under separate cover, if you opt for a refund for raffle tickets payments, souvenir program payments and fiesta donations.

MAY GOD BE WITH US ALL!

Respectfully,

President Nhel Conde
Board of Advisers
Executive Officers

A meeting was held on March 14, 2020 at the home of Secretary, Grace Reyes Manalo, with the members of The Board of Advisers and The Executive Officers.

The main agenda was the discussion as to how to move forward concerning the upcoming 59th Fiesta based on the current environment with COVID-19.

Although, we the Officers of the Salinas Association of San Diego CA Inc., have an unwavering devotion to  Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, we also have a responsibility to ensure the safety and health of our officers, members and guests.

With this in mind and in our current COVID-19 environment, a vote was taken as to whether to proceed with plans as normal to host the 59th Annual Fiesta in May, 2020 or postpone it to another time.

A vote was taken and it was unanimous, 17 people voted that the Fiesta should be postponed. However, there was one person who disagreed. In an effort to ensure that everyone’s opinion was heard, President Nhel Conde offered a suggestion that a decision not be made until April 2, 2020. Everyone present agreed.

The determining factor will be the status of COVID-19, at that time and whether or not it is safe to proceed as normal. 

It is our hope that we can proceed as normal. However, as an organization we have an obligation to be responsible to ensure the health and safety of everyone involved.

After April 2, 2020 when a decision has been made, the members will be notified via US Mail,  Facebook and the Salinas website of the status.

In addition, please discontinue selling the Fiesta raffle tickets until further notice.

Should we have to postpone the Fiesta, an option will be given to anyone who donated or bought raffle tickets if they would like to have their donations or payments refunded.

Thank you for understanding and please wait for further announcements.

Sincerely,

Nhel Conde
President 
Board of Advisers
Executive Officers Conde
President
