Mass for Mama Mary
MONTEMARIA’S Mother of All Asia.
On the recent birth anniversary of Mama Mary, we were invited to attend Mass at the MonteMaria church, which sits on top of a hill surrounded by flowering plants. It was celebrated by Archbishop Ramon Arguelles on a lovely islet facing Batangas Bay.
The beautiful shafts of sunlight that hit the church reminded us of the Blessed Mother’s reassuring presence! The 100-hectare sanctuary is located at Pagkilatan, Batangas, with eight hectares being developed by the Montemaria Asia Pilgrims Inc., including a 263-foot monument of the Mother of All Asia.
