EX-PAT Filipinos from across Victoria gathered in Pyramid Hill on Saturday night for the Nuestra Senora del Patrocinio (Patronage of Our Lady) festival.
Organiser Imelda Ross said it was the first function for the local Unified Filipino Australian Association after a change of name from United Filipino Organisation.
A new logo designed by Pyramid Hill College’s Josephine Marie Ceballos was unveiled before members and visitors from Melbourne, Ballarat and Mildura.
A service at St Patrick’s Church preceded the procession to the memorial hall where entertainment and traditional food was enjoyed.
The festival queens were presented to parish priest Fr Dean Bongat on the fest day of Our Lady of Protection held as part of this year’s Marian Festival.
A welcome to country was given by parish secetary Rachel Cain and Carmen Cauchi delivered the message of gratitude.
