early morning Solemn Mass in commemoration of the Christianization of the country at the Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño de Cebu, on Saturday, Jan. 14, 2023.
With their parents, younger sister, and cousin Rosanne Marie Lood, 17, they prayed to the Sto. Niño for good health, guidance in their studies, and the capability to encourage their fellow youth to cultivate their faith in the Holy Child Jesus.“Pareha pod sa ilaha nga maayong panglawas ug hatagan mi og kusog nga di ba daghan man kaayong batan-on nga mga depressed? Tagaan mi’g kusog ni Sto. Niño nga dili mi muabot og ingana na kuan,” Cris Anne told CDN Digital.
The visit of the Blessed image of Señor Sto. Niño de Cebu to the Augustinian Monastery Tabalong in Dauis, last June 2021, helped them decide to join the confraternity of the Basilica.
