Our Lady of Fatima visits archdiocese
HUNDREDS of devotees gathered at the St. John the Evangelist Metropolitan Cathedral on January 8 for the visit of the statue of Our Lady of Fatima.
The visit to the Lingayen-Dagupan Archdiocese was part of the statue’s worldwide pilgrimage that started on January 4 and will end on January 25.
Catholics from the different parishes in the archdiocese welcomed the statue with the “Icthus Song” composed by Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas and arranged by foremost Filipino composer Ryan Cayabyab, a Pangasinense.
Pangasinan songs were also sung led by students of the St. John the Evangelist Cathedral School.
Small white flags were waved and festive music was played when the image was being carried inside the cathedral where a Eucharistic celebration led by Fr. Soc followed.
An overnight vigil was held, after which the image was transferred to the St. Fabian, Pope and Martyr, Parish in San Fabian.—Sher Palola, CdD
