Good piece as always, @Kevin Stephon Centeno, SJ !

Appreciated your piece yesterday as well. Thanks for sharing the legacy of Fr. Honti and for your critical stance on the dress code issue. It's just sad that others are easy to demonize you and your article. I hope they read your article carefully -- in full.

Good afternoon! Sharing some photos and videos from the Camote Festival and Indigenous Peoples' Month celebration on Oct 19th at the foothills of Mount Pulag. The celebration started with the Holy Mass led by Fr Ricky Belino, the parish priest of St Francis Xavier Parish in Kabayan, Benguet followed by community dances (tayaw) and other presentations by members of the Lusod Gimong, called St Catherine of Siena community. Lusod is the most remote village of Kabayan town and shares borders with Ifugao and Nurva Vizcaya.

Today, October 21, Filipino Catholics mark the 12th anniversary of the canonization of Pedro Calungsod, the second Filipino saint.

A Visayan native who is said to have hailed from Cebu, he was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on October 21, 2012.

Who is Pedro Calungsod according to history books? @here

Various titles of the Blessed Virgin Mary were venerated and featured in a procession at San Agustin Parish - Parian during their Grand Marian Procession as part of the Holy Rosary Month and in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the parish's canonical erection.

The procession was led by their Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Clifford M. Miras, along with the La Virgen Festejada, Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, owned by Aldrin Reyes and Ronnie Señeres De Mesa.

Viva La Virgen!

Maybe in the future we might have another Filipino saint in the guise of Brother Richie Fernando. I only got to read a summary of his story and the events which led to his martyrdom. But I genuinely believe he exemplifies the goodness of all Jesuit missionaries and fellow Catholics.

May St. Pedro Calungsod, and all the Saints, pray for us as we learn from their wisdom and virtue.

nice! so many celebrations na this month of the Holy Rosary <3

Today, October 22, the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of Pope Saint John Paul II. On this day in 1978, his pontificate — which would last for nearly 27 years — was inaugurated.

Well-loved by Filipinos, John Paul II visited the Philippines twice: in 1981 for the beatification of Lorenzo Ruiz, then in 1995 for the 10th World Youth Day.

VIVA SAN PEDRO CALUNGSOD! |Devotees of Saint Pedro Calungsod flocked to the Cebu Archdiocesan Shrine of Saint Pedro Calungsod on October 21, 2024, in celebration of the Visayan proto-martyr’s 12th Canonization Anniversary.

Fr. Albert Benedict Soliman, OSA, the Provincial Liturgist and Secretary of the Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño Augustinian Community, presided over the Holy Mass alongside the Calungsod Shrine priests-administrators and other visiting priests.

Exactly 12 years ago, on October 21, 2012, in Vatican City, Pope Benedict XVI canonized Saint Pedro Calungsod, making him the first Visayan martyr.

After the Mass, a thanksgiving dinner and short program were held with the Shrine Volunteers, SPFY Seminarians, pilgrims, and priests. At the end of the event, the community sang the Gozos of Saint Pedro Calungsod in gratitude for the gift of God through his life.

The Synod on Synodality is a monthlong summit involving bishops, priests, consecrated men and women, and laypersons to chart the future of the Catholic Church.

Thank you Sir @paterno! Many devotees went to the Shrine yesterday. Some of them also witnessed the Canonization of San Pedro Calungsod in Rome. The shrine has become a place for prayer and refuge, especially for the devotees who seeks San Pedro Calungsod’s intercession.

Today is the Feast of Pope Saint John Paul II. Take a look at these photos taken by veteran photojournalist Noli Yamsuan, who died in 2016: https://www.rappler.com/philippines/photos-pope-saint-john-paul-ii-visits-manila/ @here
