There are 12 Masses every Wednesday. ( I was unable to copy the Mass schedule from the site) but I also know from the people in my own parish who are of Filipino descent that the Catholc Faith, and devotion to Mary is strong in the Philippines. We need to keep praying that they will resist the influence of pro-abortion advocates in that country as elsewhere.
The icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is such a beautiful one. The touching image of the Baby Jesus holing His Mother’s thumb as He gazes on the instruments of His Passion is piercing to every Mother’s heart, I think.
