visita iglesia 2013

my parents are in town for the holy week. they couldn't stand the power situation in mindanao. imagine 4 - 6 hours a day of black outs???!!! it's earth day everyday there... reminds me of the 90s.  dark times... literally.

anyway, it was my parent's first time to do visita iglesia here. they were actually surprised that the tradition is very much alive in the metro. we heard mass at gbelt chapel at 5pm before hitting road for my holy thursday habit.

1) greenbelt parish, greenbelt
2) st. andrews parish, bel air
3) national shrine of the sacred heart, kamagong
4) st. john bosco parish, arnaiz avenue
5) sanctuario de san antonio, forbes
6) blessed john paul II, eastwood
7) padre pio, c5

parking situation was pretty bad. i'm actually thinking of making it a good friday habit instead starting next year.

I don't think you can move the Visita Iglesia to Good Friday. Traditionally, one is supposed to visit 7 churches and pray the our father, hail mary and glory be before the Blessed Sacrament which is in the altar of repose. The altar of repose maintained only after the last supper mass until midnight of Holy Thursday.
