Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish’s Month of Rosary Culmination

In deep devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish joyfully concluded the celebration of the Month of the Holy Rosary with a week-long series of activities from October 26 to 31, 2025.

Highlighting the celebration was the First Marian Exhibit, which featured sixteen Marian titles, each beautifully presented and thoughtfully arranged to help parishioners deepen their understanding of Mary’s many virtues and her powerful intercession. The exhibit served as a spiritual journey, allowing the faithful to encounter the Blessed Mother in her various titles that reflect her compassion, strength, and love for all her children.

On the morning of October 31, 2025, the culmination day began with a Holy Mass presided by Rev. Fr. Ritzchild John S. Cariaga, DCD, Parochial Vicar. In his homily, Fr. Dan reminded everyone to follow the example of Mary “her courage, humility, and unwavering trust in the Lord, especially shown during the Annunciation when she wholeheartedly surrendered to His will.” His message resonated deeply with the faithful, inspiring renewed faith and devotion to the Blessed Mother.

At 4:00 PM, parishioners once again gathered in unity and prayer for a solemn Marian Procession, carrying images of the Virgin Mary through the streets as a public expression of faith and gratitude. The procession was followed by a Marian Cosplay Presentation, showcasing seven Marian titles: Our Lady of Sorrows, Our Lady of Czestochowa, Our Lady of Hope, Mother of Mercy, Mary, Mother of God, Our Lady Undoer of Knots, and Our Lady Star of the Sea. Each portrayal highlighted the unique beauty and symbolism of the Blessed Mother, bringing her stories and virtues to life in a creative and reverent way.

The entire celebration stood as a testament to the parish’s enduring love for the Blessed Virgin Mary, a time of reflection, unity, and renewed devotion. Through this meaningful event, the faithful of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish were once again reminded that, like Mary, they too are called to live with faith, humility, and complete trust in God’s divine plan.
