"Christmas Day Pilgrimage"

"Christmas Day Pilgrimage"

For 13 years since I came out of this world, our parents introduce to us the tradition of Christ Day Pilgrimage at Baclaran Redemptorist church, a devotion that brings folks as far as Ilocos gathers to this shrine to get blessings and say their prayers to child Jesus. Believed to be a source of life changing miracles which me personally experienced. T'was 1989 when me a young kid dreams to have a better life, bet his fortune on collecting Gold Eagle beer crowns (predescessor of Red Horse) and ask his mom to join a raffle in Eat Bulaga noon time show. During the draw, I prayed faithfully on the Our Lady of perpetual help, as I finish my wish, Sen Tito Sotto called my mom's name and that's it, We won! The prize car help us bought some properties and our life was never the same again.

Today, we revisited the Redemptorist church to continue our devotion and remembers our good childhood memories at our "sanctuary of faith"

The church is located along Roxas boulevard in Paranaque.

Must Try:
