A Pilgrimage of Gratitude

Before sunrise, Pax Romana Alumni journeyed to the Our Lady of the Bible Shrine in Bibleland, Brgy. San Eugenio, Aringay, La Union, together with the Bibleland Community, to celebrate the 65th Sacerdotal Anniversary of Rev. Fr. Efren Rivera, O.P.

It was a grace-filled day of pilgrimage, prayer, and thanksgiving for 65 years of faithful priestly service — preaching the Word, celebrating the Eucharist, and guiding generations in faith.

🙏 Thank you, Fr. Efren, for a lifetime dedicated to proclaiming the Gospel.

May Our Lady of the Bible continue to lead us all to love, live, and share the Word.
