“Sa pagninilay sa 7 dusa ni Maria, maging inspirasyon nawa ng bawat Kristiyano si Maria bilang ina at tagasunod ni Hesus na patuloy pa ring sinamahan ang ating Panginoon sa kabila ng mga pinagdaraanang hirap sa buhay.” Bro. Romil Cahatol said, one of the organizers and Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) Secretary.
The procession of Via Dolores Matris Dolorosa is one of the Catholic tradition during lenten season. Flint Gorospe
