With hearts filled with thanksgiving and Marian joy, we offer our sincerest gratitude to everyone who contributed to the success of the 3rd Marian Exhibit and 2nd Marian Procession. This celebration was more than an event—it was a testament to our shared faith, devotion, and love for our Blessed Mother.
First and foremost, we give thanks to Almighty God, through the loving intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, for allowing us to gather as one community in honoring her maternal presence among us.
Our heartfelt appreciation goes to our beloved Parish Priest, Rev. Father Paulo B. Barandon , for his spiritual guidance, encouragement, and unwavering support. Your leadership has been instrumental in nurturing Marian devotion within our parish.
To our Hermano and Hermana Mayor, thank you for your generosity, dedication, and sacrifices. Your commitment and hard work greatly contributed to making this celebration possible.
To all our officers, volunteers, sponsors, and parish organizations, we are deeply grateful for your service, generosity, and countless hours of preparation. Much of your work may have gone unseen, but it was truly felt and appreciated.
To our dear Sagalas, thank you for your graceful participation and for helping make the procession a beautiful expression of faith and devotion.
To all the owners, caretakers, and participating Marian devotees who generously allowed their beloved Marian images to be part of the exhibit and procession, thank you for sharing these treasured expressions of faith with our parish community. Through your generosity, many were inspired to deepen their love for Our Blessed Mother.
We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to the owners of the carrozas who, without hesitation, generously lent their beautifully crafted carrozas for the procession. Your kindness, trust, and willingness to share these precious vehicles of devotion allowed our Marian images to be presented with dignity and honor. Your generosity greatly enriched the beauty and solemnity of this sacred event.
We also offer our sincere appreciation to the families and individuals who warmly welcomed and hosted the visiting Marian images and their accompanying devotees in their homes. Your hospitality, generosity, and willingness to open your doors and hearts exemplifies the true Christian spirit of charity and fellowship. Through your humble acts of service, our guests experienced not only comfort but also the warmth of our parish community.
We also extend our warmest gratitude to our guests and pilgrims who traveled from near and far to join us in this celebration of faith.
A very special acknowledgment is given to the Bicol Coronadas—the canonically and episcopally crowned images of the Blessed Virgin Mary from various parishes across the Bicol Region. We are truly honored by the presence of:
• Nuestra Señora de la Soledad de Tambo of Sanctuario Arquidiocesano y Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, Buhi Camarines Sur

Your presence brought immense spiritual significance and honor to our parish celebration. Thank you to the devotees and coordinators who exerted great effort and made sacrifices to accompany these beloved Marian images and share their rich history of faith and devotion with our community.
While we recognize that the event may not have been perfect and that there were areas where we could have done better, we believe that every effort was offered with sincere hearts and for the greater glory of God and honor of His Blessed Mother. We humbly ask for understanding for any shortcomings and thank everyone for their patience, cooperation, and goodwill.
As we conclude this blessed celebration, may we carry with us the lessons of faith, unity, service, and Marian devotion that these days have inspired. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Maria, Stella Missionis, continue to guide our parish and all who participated in this sacred endeavor.
From the depths of our hearts, thank you very much. May God reward your kindness, generosity, and dedication a hundredfold.
Viva la Virgen! Viva Maria!
