OBAF: Biglang Awa Triduum

Hello dear fellow Marinduquenos!

Good day to you! I am Leticia “Lita” Pedrosa Hidalgo, wife of Atty. Augusto “Ton” Hidalgo, and recently appointed successor of my sister-in-law Albine Hidalgo Padua, President for 25 years of the Our Lady of Biglang Awa Foundation.

To honor our Patroness, Our Lady of Biglang Awa, the Foundation holds a Triduum (3-day prayers & Holy Mass) every year in the month of November. The Triduum will start on Friday, Nov. 6, 2009 and will end on Sunday, Nov. 8, 2009 and will be held at St. Paul’s Seminary Chapel, 7708 St. Paul Road, San Antonio Village Makati City. Rev. Fr. Nilo Lardizabal will say Mass on Saturday, Nov. 7, and Rev. Fr. Rene Sapungan will be the main celebrant on Sunday, Nov. 8, 2009.

Kindly note the schedule and groups in charge:

Friday, Nov 6 5:00 p.m. - Sta. Cruz, Torrijos Buenavista
Saturday, Nov 7 4:00 p.m. - Boac, Mogpog, Gasan
Sunday, Nov 8 4:00 p.m. - Marinducare Foundation, Youth & Young Professionals

The main aim and purpose of our Foundation is to spread devotion to Our Lady of Biglang Awa. For this reason we have committed ourselves to numerous welfare and charity endeavors, such as the yearly instruction and preparation for First Communion of public school students, the improvement of churches in Marinduque, and miscellaneous expenses for preschool education in barangay schools.

The annual subsidy for poor seminarians in the Diocese of Boac is one of the projects we have been raising funds for in the past 25 years. This is particularly relevant on this year dedicated to St John Marie Vianney when the universal church is asked to pray very especially for the holiness of its priests.

With the help of the new Board I hope to be able to approximate Mrs. Padua’s accomplishments. May we invite you to assist us in our aim to propagate devotion to Our Lady through these projects?

May our Blessed Mother of Biglang Awa bless you for your anticipated generosity. Thank you very much.
　
Sincerely yours,
LETICIA PEDROSA-HIDALGO
President

Hello this is Tita Lita Hidalgo, I chanced on your website and would like to invite you all to join us, especially on Sunday, which is for the youth and young professionals. Pls come and meet other young marinduquenos based in Manila and invite them to join your so-worthy causes!!! St. Paul road is perpendicular to Bagtikan St which crosses Pasong Tamo. If you are familiar with Libreria San Pablo, you will enter the gate right beside it which is a winding road that ends at St. Paul's Seminary chapel . Hope to see you there on Sunday!
