Fr. Tolang Celebrates Golden Jubilee of Priesthood


Immaculate Conception Church honored 16 Filipino Americans as Nine O’clock VIPs (Very Immaculate Pinoys). The honorees have been participating in the 9:00 a.m. Sunday Mass at the Immaculate Conception Church in Seattle for years – even decades for those who grew up in the parish.

For Fr. Tolang, the award was a very special occasion. He’s celebrating his Golden Jubilee of Priesthood. The citation was presented during the Filipino American History Month.

The event was very festive. There were cultural dances, songs, and “Pabitin.” Community leaders gave inspirational messages expressing appreciation for Fr. Tolang’s community service.
