WATCH: Christmas Message from Most Rev. Rex Andrew C. Alarcon, DD, Archbishop of Cáceres

Jesus, our Light, is born for us. Even in moments of sadness, loneliness, or difficulty, God never forgets His people. Christmas reminds us that God is with us in both joy and challenges. Let us be a light to others, sharing joy, bringing peace, and loving generously.

Archbishop Rex warmly wishes you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year 2026.

September 20, Naga City — Thousands of barefoot devotees lined the streets and riverbanks as the sacred images of Inâ, Our Lady of Peñafrancia, and El Divino Rostro made their solemn return to the Basilica Minore and National Shrine of Our Lady of Peñafrancia during the annual Fluvial Procession.

From the Naga Metropolitan Cathedral, the images were carried through a sea of prayerful pilgrims, culminating in a grand river procession along the Naga River—one of the most powerful expressions of faith and devotion in the Bicol Region.

This centuries-old tradition, the highlight of the Peñafrancia Festival, continues to unite Bicolanos in a profound display of Marian and Christocentric devotion.

ORATIO IMPERATA

BAGYONG OPONG
(Ipinagboboot na Pamibi laban sa mga Bagyo
asin iba pang mga Kapahamakan)

Amang makakamhan, iniitaas mi ang samong mga puso
sa pagpapasalamat huli kan mga nangangalasan kan Saimong linalang,
huli kan Saimong pangataman sa pagtao Mo
kan samong mga pangangaipo digdi sa daga,
asin huli kan Saimong kadunongan na nag-aantabay
kan lakaw kan bilog na kinaban.
Inaako mi na nagkasala kami Saimo asin sa kapalibutan.
Dai mi nasabotan asin naotob an Saimong kabotan na atamanon
an kinaban.
An kapalibutan nagsasakit huli kan samong mga salang gibo,
Asin ngonyan namamatean mi na
An pagdusang-balik kan samong pag-abuso asin kapabayaan.
Padagos an labi-labing pag-init kan kinaban.
Huli kaini naglalawig an tig-initan; nagdadakul asin nagkukusog an mga bagyo, uran, baha, pagtuga kan bulkan, asin iba pang mga natural na calamidad.
Dai kaming mabibirikan kundi Ika, mamomoton na Ama.
Sa saimo kami minahagad nin kapatawaran kan samong mga kasalan.
Ilikay mo kami, an samong mga namomotan, asin mga pagrogaring
Sa peligro nin mga calamidad, natural man o kagibohan nin tawo.
Antabayan Mo kaming magtalubo na magin mga responsableng Paraataman kan saimong linalang.
Asin mga matinabang na parasurog kan kapwang nangangaipo.
Huli ki Kristo, samong Kagurangnan.
Amen.
V- Nuestra Señora De Peñafrancia
R- Ipamibi mo kami.
V- Nuestra Señora de Salvacion
R- Danay mo kaming Ipamibi.
