FEAST OF THE PURIFICATION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
A small image of Our Lady of Good Success, a replica of the original statue in Quito, Ecuador, was “enthroned” at the altar of the Chapel. The Mission made a nine-day novena in Her honor from January 24 up to February 01, 2020 in humble thanksgiving for the all graces that She obtained, and will still obtain, for the growing Philippines and Asia- Pacific Mission.

[Right] A first at the Mission: The priest blesses the faithful with the image of the Holy Infant Jesus [taken from the Christmas manger]. A [farewell] veneration followed by kissing the feet of the Divine Infant. Father explained that this is a traditional custom [at least in Europe], and a beautiful and remarkable way to close the Christmas season [as the Baby Jesus is then processed out of the sanctuary area – to be brought in [only] again on Christmas day].
This was the first time we had this ceremony at the Chapel – and it was indeed very beautiful! This custom [devotion] can be special means to offer some reparation to Our Lord – Whose Divinity and Incarnation are not just forgotten, but even despised and rejected by the modern world.
OUR LADY OF REFUGE

This statue was commissioned by a kind and devout woman from Australia.
