The occasion of the feast of St. Catherine of Siena marks a historic milestone. On April 26, 2026, after the Holy Mass presided over by His Excellency Most. Rev. Socrates B. Villegas, D.D, the faithful witnessed the approval of plans, the signing of the deed of donations, and the unveiling of the architectural design of our dream โKaritonโ Pilgrim Churchโa Pilgrim Church that does not just stand still but journeys alongside its people.
The unveiling of the completed architectural design was led by Archbishop Soc, a gesture that signifies our shared faith, hope, and unity. Following this, the deed of donation by Ms. Josefina Karo and Archbishop Soc was signed. This is a significant moment that formalizes this generous act of support for our parish. Through a visionary and sizable gift, the Karo Family has answered the "Look of Love," fueling the parish church's rise.
This is more than a structure; it is a Church of the Poor. Inspired by the "Small Caravan" of St. Hannibal, this Kariton Church journeys with the margins, carrying prayer and charity to those who need it most. We build this church not only with stone, but also by sharing the love we have found. Join us at the door. Take the step. Ride with us in our journey of faith to follow Jesus.
The SCSP community would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Most Rev. Socrates B. Villegas, D.D. Archbishop of Lingayen-Dagupan, Bishop Fidelis B. Layog, D.D, Auxiliary bishop of Lingayen-Dagupan, for their all out support in this project. To Ms. Josefina Karo and family for their generosity and kindness. The Rogationists: Fr.
