“For the 3rd year that I became part of the JOC, the Gazebo of the Archbishop’s Residence is a testimony of the coming together of our network in making the festivity, not just as successful in terms of peace and order, but pretty sure all the more successful in terms of deepening the faith of our people,” he added.
Tirona is confident that the faithful will again experience the same joy and success, and the same network relationship during the Feast. (MAL/LSMacatangay, with reports from Jam Madrid-PIA5/Camarines Sur)
