(UPDATED) The Archdiocese of Cebu baptized a total of 100 infants at the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Our Lady of Guadalupe in Cebu City on Sunday, April 11, 2021, for the first day of the Triduum for the 500 Years of Christianity (500 YoC) celebration.
Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma together with Cebu Auxiliary Bishop Midyphil Billones and Palo Archbishop John Du welcomed 100 infants from 19 Archdiocesan parishes into the Christian community.
Cebu Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Antonio Rañola also concelebrated the event along with other priests. They (children) are too small to understand the meaning now, but perhaps when they grow old, in connection to the fifth centenary (500 YoC), we remember that they were baptized, Palma said.
