Cofradía de Nuestra Señora de Aránzazu

Cofradía de Nuestra Señora de Aránzazu We are group of laymen in Aranzazu Shrine responsible for the material care of our patroness image. Reynaldo Balcos and the guidance of Msgr.

“Ecce ancilla Domini, fiat mihi verbum secundum tuum.” (Luke 1:36)

On 7 February 1993, with the persistent effort of Mr. Arnel Lagarejos, the Cofradia de Nuestra Señora de Aranzazu was established. During the installation, Mrs. Dolores Santos was appointed as the first president. The Cofradia de Nuestra Señora de Aranzazu advocated and spearheaded the propagation of the devotion to Nuestra Senora de Aranzazu primarily the preparation of documents for the petition of Episcopal and Canonical Coronation. The group spearheaded, during the year of its reestablishment, the following activities: a Grand procession in honor of Ntra Sra de Aranzazu on her feast day, 9 September 1993; the visit of the Virgin of Aranzazu to the different schools and chapels under the parish before her feast day; the historical visit of Our Lady to the “Little San Mateo” in Sampaloc, Manila on 4 December 1993; the participation of the Virgin in the Intramuros Grand Marian Procession, for the first time, on 4 December 1993; and the commemoration of the apparition of Ntra Sra de Aranzazu on 4 June 1994 (the date of apparition is on 11 June 1469), together with the handling out of prayer cards (estampitas) to the faithful. The Association of Our Lady of Aranzazu started way back year 2001 under a different name. Its formal foundation was 1 January 2005 with initial twenty-five women coming from the defunct Sons and daughters of Mary, Msgr Mariano Balbago Jr. serves as the Spiritual Director at that time. The Founding officers of the Association were: Aida A. Salvador, Leilanie D. Sanchez, Ria Esquivel-Jacob, and Fermina Apuya. May 2014, the name “Association of Our Lady of Aranzazu” was changed into COFRADIA DE NUESTRA SEÑORA DE ARANZAZU. It was amended unanimously by the members of the organization. This Confraternity held its regular monthly meeting every first Saturday of each month and aims to formulate and carry out various activities for the patroness of the town of San Mateo, Nuestra Señora de Aranzazu, towards the growth of those who offer their prayers and intentions to her.

“Ika’y aming ginagalang, Birheng kasanta-santahan. Kami nama’y iyong tingnan laban sa mga kaaway.” (Novena Antiphon)

Maraming salamat sa lahat ng mga nakiisa, gumanap, nag-alay, at naging bahagi ng Aranzazu Fiesta 2026.

Naging mas makulay, makabuluhan, at matagumpay ang ating pagdiriwang dahil sa ating sama-samang pagsisikap at paglilingkod, na naging alay at papuri sa ating Panginoong Hesukristo.

Mga Kadambana, sama-sama nating tahakin ang paglalakbay patungo kay Hesus!

Ngayong September 9, sa Kapistahan ng ating Mahal na Birhen Nuestra Señora de Aranzazu, Patrona ng Hilagang Rizal, ating balikan at ipagdiwang ang biyaya ng pananampalataya, pagkakaisa, at debosyon sa pamamagitan ng iba’t ibang gawaing inihanda para sa buong pamayanan.

Sa temang “Mahal na Birhen ng Aranzazu: Gabay ng mga Manlalakbay Patungo kay Hesus,” bawat gawain ay magiging pagkakataon upang tayo ay sama-samang manalangin, magpasalamat, makiisa, at higit na mapalalim ang ating ugnayan sa Diyos.

Mula sa mga gawaing espiritwal at debosyonal hanggang sa mga aktibidad para sa buong pamayanan, halina’t makiisa sa ating paglalakbay ng pananampalataya!

Tayo na, Mga Kadambana! Sama-sama nating ipagdiwang ang Kapistahan ng ating Mahal na Ina!

Viva La Virgen!
