In a touching testament to faith and unity, the local parish community is extending an open invitation to all faithful to join the recitation of the Holy Rosary this coming May 21, 2025 at 9:00 in the evening. This spiritual gathering is more than just a moment of prayer—it marks a significant milestone for the parish as it will be featured on several major Catholic media platforms. The parish’s Commission on Media and Social Communication will be on hand to cover the event, ensuring the essence of this communal prayer reaches a far wider audience. The rosary will be aired on TV Maria, Radyo Veritas Manila, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), and the Manila Cathedral’s official Facebook page. To be recognized and given airtime by these respected Catholic institutions is a tremendous honor and an affirmation of the parish’s ongoing commitment to evangelization and devotion through media. For the parishioners and organizers, this moment is not just about recognition—it’s about bringing the faithful together in prayer and amplifying the voice of devotion across the nation. “This is a beautiful opportunity for all of us to come together in faith and offer our prayers to Our Blessed Mother,” said a member of the parish media team. “We are humbled and overjoyed to be given this chance to share our devotion with others through the powerful channels of Catholic media.” As the Church celebrates Mary in a special way this May, the month traditionally dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, this event comes as a fitting tribute. Everyone is encouraged to participate and be part of this spiritual event, not only in presence but in heart and intention. Join the recitation of the Holy Rosary on May 21, 2025, to be led by Rev. Fr. Paulo B. Barandon, the Parish Priest of St. Stephen the Protomartyr, and be part of a moment of grace that will echo across the Philippines. “Mama Mary loves you. God bless”.
