On July 29, 2023, the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, the community of Holy Apostles Senior Seminary (HASS) held its annual Marian Pilgrimage as part of its Patronal Fiesta celebration.
The community visited two homes of Marian devotion in the Philippines--- the National Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in Retiro, Quezon City and the Sto. Domingo Church along Quezon Ave., Quezon City. The latter is where pilgrims venerate the original image of Nuestra Señora del Santisimo Rosario, La Naval de Manila. Both churches are in the Diocese of Cubao.
The community started its pilgrimage at Our Lady of Lourdes, where they first prayed the Lauds and initial prayers of the Rosary. The priest-formators, seminarians and lay personnel prayed the Rosary as they walked in triads along the streets leading to Sto. Domingo Church.
The Dominican Friars warmly welcomed them and facilitated the tour of the convent and the complex. The best part was that every member was able to approach the sanctuary, pray before and pay homage to the majestic Nuestra Señora del Santisimo Rosario (La Naval de Manila). Batch Tugon, composed of brothers in their first year of formation, has placed their formative journey under the maternal care of Nuestra Señora del Santisimo Rosario.
As part of the celebration, the pilgrim-community had breakfast and table fellowship at a Dominican-inspired Café close by.
