Feast of the Immaculate Conception

Today is the feast day of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. We got up early this morning and went to hear mass at our lungsud (town) church. Then we went to Tita Baby's house in San Agustin Heights in Labangon to visit the Pilgrim statue of Our Lady of Fatima, the original statue of our Lady of Fatima, which Mother Mary instructed Sister Lucia to sculpt for her. The statue arrived at their house last night and was supposed to be taken at 11 in the morning, but the Brothers from the Herald of the Gospels came in earlier at 9:30. We were able to catch up with them and the statue at the Department of Labor and Employment office beside Plaza Independencia.
