Pilgrim Image of Our Lady of Fatima Visits Manila Parishes

The pilgrim image of Our Lady of Fatima has begun its visit of the parishes of the Archdiocese of Manila. It’s first stop was at Sto. Niño in Tondo in the Manila ecclesiastical district. Once all the parishes in this district have been visited, the pilgrim image will proceed to the ecclesiastical district of Kalookan-Malabon-Navotas.

Special prayer service has been composed by the Archdiocesan Liturgical Commission to accompany the visit of the Pilgrim image in each parish.

The pilgrim image is an original work crafted by a sculptor of Paete town in Laguna, a place widely known for its wood sculptures. The wooden image, which is garbed in heavy satin cloak with its edges lined in pearls, was blessed by His Eminence Jaime L. Cardinal Sin in very simple ceremonies held at the Villa San Miguel on June 3.

The tour of the pilgrim image is part of the activities of the Archdiocese of Manila for the Year of the Holy Rosary. During the Fridays of May, the districts of the Archdiocese held rosary pilgrimages to Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage in Antipolo.
