ANNOUNCEMENT: The Trillion Peso March

ANNOUNCEMENT:  

The Trillion Peso March on September 21 will be held at the People Power Monument from two o’clock to five o’clock in the afternoon at the corner of EDSA Ave. and White Plains, Quezon City. 

It is a Sunday. Our duty to God doesn’t cease when our duty to our country begins. Hence, I invite those who wish to join the rally to attend the twelve noon mass at the Edsa Shrine before proceeding to the People Power Monument. 

 

We do not want the mass, though, to have the tone of protest as it may alienate other people who only wish to pray in peace. 

Together, let us humbly beg the Lord to guide us in doing noble things for our country we deeply love. 

Rev. Fr. Jerome Secillano 

Rector of the EDSA Shrine
