Our parish turned red last January 17, 2010 as we celebrate the Feast of Sto. Nino here in Donsol. The festivity was highlighted by a Solemn Eucharistic Celebration presided over by Fr. Jojo Revidad, Soft Blessing of the construction site of Grotto of Sto. Nino and the first ever Dance Procession around the poblacion barangays. Parishioners and participants, mostly wearing red t-shirts, brought with them different kinds of Sto. Nino images, as they dance out their prayers and petitions to Sto. Nino in the streets of Donsol. The activities were actively participated by the different religious organizations, kapilya delegates and the devotees of Sto. Nino.
Our Parish Priest, together with his hard working Parish Pastoral Council, thought it as proper to promote a special devotion to the Child Jesus here in Donsol by the fact that we have St. Joseph and Mother Mary in the title of Our Lady of Penafrancia, as our parish's primary Patron and secondary Patroness respectively. In order to strengthen the devotion of the Donsolanons to the Sto. Nino, the parish is now building a grotto in His Honor at he side of our Parish Site. And in this year's festivity the parish also initiated a sinulog-inspired dance procession which was led by the Donsol National Comprehensive High School Dance Troupe.
The rain poured during the dance procession but it did not stop both young and old devotees from dancing on the street, a good sign of their great love to the Child Jesus. Despite going home wet, most if not all of them went home fulfilled with their experience.
Below are some photos of the Dance Procession:

Sister Nancy grappled with the stepsFr. Jojo would like to thank in a very special way those who came from far flung kapilyas , who , despite of the weather, they still came and participated in the activity. He also hopes that Sto. Nino festivity becomes better and brighter in the coming years as we plan to have it participated by more organizations and institutions here in Donsol.
Fr. Jojo with the PPC officers also joined the procession.Since this year's dance procession was the very first here in Donsol, we made our way to get the feel of some participants and some PPC officers regarding our activity in order to make our future Sto. Nino celebration in the coming years become better and brighter. Here are their comments:
