Devotees of Saint Peregrine, the miraculous patron saint of individuals suffering from serious health problems such as cancer and AIDS , observed on May 1, the feast of the revered saint.
Special masses in his honor were offered at the St. Peregrine Laziosi Parish and Diocesan Shrine in Tunasan, Muntinlupa City which coincided with the 9th year anniversary of the declaration and elevation of the parish into a diocesan shrine by Bishop Jesse Mercado.Many pilgrims and devotees from different parts of the country traditionally travel all the way to the shrine to pray before his sacred relic, the rib of his uncorrupted body, which came all the way from his hometown in Forli, Italy.
Born in the year 1260, the popular Italian saint came to be known as a “Wonder Worker,” after he got cured of cancer upon receiving a vision of Christ on the cross reaching out His hand to touch his impaired limb. He joined the Servite Order and was greatly admired for his preaching and counseling. St. Peregrine died on May 1, 1345 and was canonized on Dec. 27, 1726. His feast day marked his 678th death anniversary.RELATED TAGS: #ST PEREGRINE #PATRON OF CANCER PATIENTS
