The ‘Pagduaw sa Mahal nga Patrona sa mga Kapilya’ continues tomorrow with its fourth leg in the Sogod Bay Vicariate
Please refer to the updated itinerary for guidance.

PAGDUAW SA MGA KAPILYA | This year, the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Assumption is spearheading a pilgrim visit of the Mahal nga Patrona throughout our diocese, especially in far-flung areas and in the peripheries.

Guided by the pastoral theme “Union with Christ and Mary in loving the poor,” the original image will visit strategically selected chapels, allowing the Blessed Mother to encounter as many of her children in the Diocese as possible.

As we deepen our meditation on and commitment to living out our preferential option for the poor, we are reminded of our Mahal nga Patrona—the "anawim" par excellence. We are called not only to acknowledge the poverty around us, but also to recognize our own spiritual poverty. In doing so, we discover our blessedness as God’s “little ones,” His faithful poor. (Circular No. 2, Series of 2026)

"Sa kalibutan karon daghan ang naggamit sa gahum aron makabenepisyo sa ilang kaugalingon.

Sa atong mga kagamhanang sibil, anaa ang isyu sa dinastiya samga pamilya nga maoy nagdumala sa pang gobiyerno. Ug, ang korapsyon sa kagamhanan, naghatag ug dakong kalisod sa atong mga katilingban.

Apan si Hesus lahi. Siya ang Magbalantay nga naghalad sa iyang kaugalingon alang sa uban."

"Pila na kaha ka higayon nga sama usab kita niini? Sa atong kinabuhi, usahay maglisod ang pamilya; adunay sakit o problema; adunay daghang kasamok sa kinabuhi; ug mga nagkalain-laing mga kasakit ug samad sa atong mga balatian. Ug usahay, murag layo ang Ginoo. Wala siya motubag sa atong pag-ampo.

Apan ang Ebanghelyo nagpakita kanato sa usa ka dakong kamatuoran: bisan kon wala nato siya mailhi, si Hesus naglakaw gihapon uban kanato."
