First Philippine Visit of St. Carlo Acutis’ Relic

We visited the National Shrine of St. John Paul II in Hermosa, Bataan as it was one of the stopovers of the pericardium heart relic of Saint Carlo Acutis during its first visit to the Philippines. The relic arrived in the country on November 27, marking the start of an 18-day pilgrimage that would bring this first-class relic to more than 30 churches in 16 dioceses across Luzon.

Immaculate Conception and the Philippines

The devotion to the Immaculate Conception has been deeply woven into the fabric of Filipino Catholic life for centuries. It is a title that does not simply belong to theological discourse, but to the nation’s heart, history, and identity. Every December 8, the entire country pauses to honor Mary as the Immaculate Conception. She is the Patroness of the Philippines.
