In addition, I'm very grateful to the anonymous donor from the US who donated several First Class Relics to me including a First Class Relic of St. Philomena to the Apostolate. That's why all the intentions that you will be sending here starting today (May 3, 2016) will be placed near her small statue and relic at our private chapel where we have a daily recitation of the Liturgy of the Hours and the Rosary. For those who previously posted their intentions back there at the post, don't worry because I already placed it near her relics. To send your intentions, please follow this link.

It's been (2) two years since my last post here in this blog and there are lots of changes that I have gone through specially with my relationship with Christ Jesus and my commitment in serving his Church. I'll try to update this blog and add new stuffs here... For the greater Glory of God and His Church.
