SANTO ENTIERRO PROCESSION

For the first time, our parish will organize a procession in the evening of Good Friday after the youth’s Lenten play. The Santo Entierro (dead Christ) will be brought in procession around Santa Rosa Villages I and II. The faithful is invited to bring candles and join the procession and experience how it is to grieve for our sins that brought about the death of Jesus. For parishioners who have statues that they wish to be included in the procession, they may contact the parish office.

A group went to Paete, Laguna last March 21, to look for the statue of Santo Entierro. They were happy to find a beautiful statue of Jesus with a serene face, dead but seemingly sleeping. A carosa will also be built by the Paete sculptors and it will be included in the purchase. Since this has cost the parish quite a big amount, we welcome people who would like to contribute in covering the expenses. They will be part of this new but meaningful and revered Lenten event that we wish to introduce in our parish.
