Visita Iglesia '12

Growing up witnessing the activities held by the catholic church fed up my curiosity and social consciousness, I say in how I've understood the position of the church to every human life and its position to the social community. 

Anyway, I've always wondered how sacred those activities are. One of many is, Visita Iglesia. Done every Holy Week, Visita Iglesia means visiting different church and pray in front of every station of the cross. its the season where the catholic community reminisces  Jesus Christ's sacrifices in order to save us. There are so many catholic activities being done on a lent season but it was my first time to do this one. That is why i am so eager to share what happened during our whole visita iglesia experience.

Our route was from Molino, Cavite to Tagaytay City. We had visited 7 beautiful churches.

1. Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Parish - Citihomes, Molino III, Bacoor, Cavite

2. Mary Immaculate Parish - Salawag, Dasmarinas, Cavite

3. National Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette - Dasmarinas, Cavite

4. St. Anthony de Padua Parish, Brgy. Pooc II, Sta.Rosa, Laguna

5. Our Lady of Lourdes - Tagaytay City

 The Candle Chapel and the candles' color meaning

6. Franciscan Missionaries of Mary Immaculate Heart Convent - Tagaytay City

7. Ina ng Laging Saklolo Parish - Tagaytay City

This is the last station of the station of the cross :) last station at our route's last church.

This is a very unforgettable fun experience. I've seen a lot activities of the catholic church but it was the first time I ever thought and realized how powerful it all are. I realized how faith could draw everyone together. its just great seeing everyone pray together. God bless! Thank You, Lord! :))
