From ‘Jose Rizal’ and ‘Pedro Calungsod’—now Santos is in London rehearsing for the UK-Ireland tour that begins in July
SIXTY-SIX years since Mary Mediatrix appeared to Carmelite postulant Teresing Castillo on Sept. 12, 1948, at the garden of the Carmelite Monastery in Lipa, Batangas province, there has been a Facebook signature campaign for the Church to officially approve the apparitions.
“San Pedro Calungsod: Ang Batang Martir,” starring Rocco Nacino, will run in 50 theaters in the country during the 39th Metro Manila Film Festival starting Dec. 25.
Philippine Ambassador to the Vatican Mercedes Arrastia-Tuason will lead the Filipino community in Italy in attending the blessing of the mosaic image of San Pedro Calungsod by Pope Francis on Nov. 21, at the crypt of the popes under the Basilica of St. Peter.
The Philippine Embassy to the Vatican has announced that the mosaic image of San Pedro Calungsod, the second Filipino saint, will be blessed by Pope Francis on Nov. 21, 4:30 p.m., at the Crypt of the Basilica of St. Peter, next to the tomb of Pope Paul VI.
The statue of Blessed Pedro Calungsod to be featured for his canonization in Rome shows him holding the book “Doctrina Christiana.”
As young kids in grade school, we passed around the mite can in the weeks leading to Mission Sunday. These were cans around the size of a fruit cocktail can, very much like the cans you see in supermarket cashiers where you can drop your coins—or bills—for the Red Cross or Bantay Bata. The mite can had a label with a picture of an American Jesuit missionary riding a horse on the slopes of a mountain in Mindanao wearing his white cassock. There was a day when you brought home the mite can to “beg” for the missionaries in Mindanao. It almost felt like a mission. On our way home we’d stop by our relatives’ houses to “beg” and went around the neighbors’ houses, too.
Sunday at St. Peter’s Square in Rome at 10 a.m. (6:30 p.m. Manila time), Pope Benedict XVI will declare as “saints” seven “Blessed,” including our very own Blessed Pedro Calungsod, Visayan martyr and catechist.
A restaurant known for serving dishes named after Catholic bishops has a new specialty—it’s not anything you can eat but it’s definitely “food” for the soul.
In connection with the canonization of Blessed Pedro Calungsod on Oct. 21 in Rome, a small chapel in Barangay Cebu in San Isidro, Isabela, was recently blessed and dedicated by Bishop Joseph Nacua, OFM-Cap, of Ilagan.
