Maasin Bishop Prescioso Cantillas has appealed for contributions for the said project.
“I invite you to give thanks to God for the gift of faith we all have received by donating an amount or construction materials,” the prelate said in a report from the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) news website.
The construction of the seven-storey complex monument began in February last year and is “being built by the Maasin diocese in the island’s Magallanes village,” the CBCP news said.
The complex will be called the “Shrine and Pilgrim Center with a Tower of Light.”
“The initiative is one of the diocese’s main projects for the year-long celebration of the 500 Years of Christianity in the Philippines,” the CBCP said.

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston has paid millions of dollars in recent years to resolve accusations of sexual abuse against priests working in local parishes. Yet, the names of many of those priests are missing from the archdioceseâs public roster of clergy accused of sexually abusing children, an accounting that began a decade ago under pressure from victims.

CEBU CITY – The Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) recorded another case of COVID-19, the first after almost five months.
A female police officer was the latest to be tested positive for the virus and was already isolated, said Police Col. Joselino Ligan, chief of the CPPO.
She is the first COVID-19 case in CCPO since the police headquarters became COVID-19 free last Aug. 26.
Before the CCPO became COVID-19-free, 113 police officers were infected with the virus with two succumbing to the disease.
Ligan said the patient was one of the 200 police officers who were deployed at the Pilgrim Center of the Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño de Cebu to secure the nine-day novena Masses of the recently concluded Fiesta Señor.

+ January 18, 2021 IN THE past, the pontifical mass for the feast day of the Sto. Niño every third Sunday of January was celebrated at the Pilgrim Center of the Basilica del Sto. Niño and attended by hundreds of devotees.
On Sunday, Jan. 17, 2021, the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic changed this familiar setting. The pontifical 6 a.m. mass celebrated by Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma took place inside the Basilica. Only a few people were in attendance, including this year’s hermano and hermana mayores and Augustinian priests.
Palma, in his homily, appreciated the “ambiance” inside the Basilica in the presence of the original image of the Sto. Niño in the context of the pandemic.
