In preparation for its 18th annual fiesta, the Our Mother of Perpetual Help Parish in Jaclupan, Talisay City, holds the 1st Day Novena Mass.
Cebu Archbishop Jose S. Palma presided over the Holy Mass. He was joined by Fr. Joselito “Joy” Danao (District II Episcopal Vicar), Fr. Chris Ian de los Santos (Parish Priest), and other visiting priests.
In his homily, the good Archbishop reminded the faithful that no matter how flawed we are, we should always remember that our heavenly mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, loves us dearly. In times of adversity, we should draw close to Jesus through her.
“Tuo kita nga gihigugma kita ni Mama Mary. Kung kamo mga inahan, pinangga ninyo inyong mga anak. Bisan pa og dili perfect, aduna gihapon love sa inyong kasingkasing alang sa inyong mga anak. How much more si Mama Mary? Ayaw pagduda, pinangga kita niya,” said Archbishop Palma.
On June 28, Saturday, Msgr. Joseph Tan (Cebu Archdiocesan Media Liaison) will preside over the 10:00 AM Fiesta Mass.
