Pueblo Amante de Maria — We are a People in Love with Mary!

Pilgrims stand as the images of Divino Rostro and Our Lady of Peñafrancia are being incensed by the parish priest before the start of dawn procession. (September 2018 Photo: Our Lady of Peñafrancia Parish FB page)

“The number of devotees and pilgrims has grown with the passage of time. They do not just come from the provinces and towns of the region but also from different parts of the country and of the globe. Remarkably, they keep coming back. Perhaps, the charm of Peñafrancia lies in the silent encounter with INA which results into a indescribable bond between Mother and devotee. “(Rex Andrew Alarcon, DD)
