What is to filipinize the parishes?

To "Filipinize the parishes" refers to the process of adapting and integrating local Filipino culture, traditions, and practices into the Catholic Church's parishes in the Philippines. This involves incorporating indigenous customs, languages, and community values into liturgical practices and church activities, making the faith more relatable to Filipino parishioners. The aim is to foster a deeper connection to the Church by reflecting the unique cultural identity of the Filipino people within their spiritual practices.
