The
annual festivity of the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary is marked
with the presence of the pilgrim image of St. Anne, Mother of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, from the National Shrine & Parish of St.
Anne, Hagonoy, Bulacan in the Diocese of Malolos through the kind
generosity of its Parish Priest and Shrine Rector, Rev. Msgr. Luciano
C. Balagtas, P.C. The Holy Family Chapel Community received the
blessed images last September 5 with a traditional procession and
celebration of the Holy Mass presided over by Msgr. Balagtas with
ardent devotes and delegates from Hagonoy, Bulacan attending. In his
homily, he thanked the host for inviting the pilgrim image and aiding
in the promotion of devotion to the patroness. A simple luncheon is
served to the attendees at the Summer Garden, Highlands China Palace.
