New Antipolo Bishop Ruperto Santos laid out his vision to make his diocese the “spiritual pilgrimage capital” of the Philippines as he was installed as the fifth bishop of Antipolo on Saturday, July 22.
MANILA, Philippines – Hindi ba’t magandang tingnan, pangarapin, at gawin na tayo, ang Diyosesis ng Antipolo, ang lalawigan ng Rizal, ay maging spiritual pilgrimage capital of the Philippines?Hinding hindi ko sasayangin ang inyong pinagpaguranSantos replaced Bishop Francisco de Leon, who had reached the mandatory retirement age of 75 in June 2022 and whose resignation was accepted by Pope Francis on May 24.
“The Church, brothers and sisters, this morning celebrates continuity, that gift of continuity, that gift of continuing to be the people of God in history,” Brown said in a brief message during Santos’ installation. He later turned to Santos, “Thank you, Your Excellency, for your availability for the work of the Church here in Antipolo.”The Diocese of Antipolo is home to the first international Catholic shrine in the Philippines and in Southeast Asia: the Antipolo Cathedral.
Formally known as the International Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage, the church was built in 1632, was destroyed several times due to earthquakes and conflicts, and was reconstructed in 1954.For nearly four centuries, Filipino pilgrims have flocked to this church to seek the Blessed Mother’s blessings for new life journeys such as working overseas, or simply to have a new car blessed by a priest.
