After the approval of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI on the miracle attributed to Blessed Pedro Calungsod, lay catechist and martyr from the Visayas, he will join other six blessed Servants of God on the Canonization that will be scheduled next year 2012 (either during the Easter Season or October, Mission Sunday).
Due to this great historical event in the life of the Philippine Church, the Confraternity of Catholic Saints are now preparing three important relics (or memorabilia) of our future second Saint. These are:
1. Cloth touched to the Bolo that killed Blessed Diego Luis de San Vitores and Blessed Pedro Calungsod
2. Sand from the sea-shore where it is believed that the body of the two martyrs were thrown.
(these two special relics are gifts from the Archdiocese of Agana and was brought personally by the Vicar General and Rector of the Cathedral where the original bolo is kept.)
3. A second-class relic (ex indumentis) of Blessed Diego Luis de San Vitores.
The miracle through Blessed Pedro's intercession was healing of a woman from Leyte. Click here for the full story,
Blessed Pedro Calungsod, pray for us!
