Mom’s A Stewardess at the Guardian Angel Fiesta in Ateneo
October 4th, 2008Last October 2, was the Feast of the Guardian Angels. Every year (for so many years now), my husband and I troop to the Ateneo for the Guardian Angel Fiesta as Ateneo Grade School has its fair coinciding with the Feast of the Guardian Angels. Families have their “salu-salo” (a get-together) where they share food, play games, and enjoy whatever musical numbers the boys have prepared.
