Bicol has been one of the regions in the Philippines with a very strong devotion to the Mother Mary, a manifestation of the great presence of Catholics in this country. This year's celebration marks the closing of the 300th year of Devotion to Our Lady of Peñafrancia. In 1710, Fray Miguel Robles de Covarubias brought the devotion to Bicol, Philippines. Many miracles happened and since then INA became part of every Bicolano’s lives.
Join them and celebrate with their INA. The month-long celebration includes trade fairs, civic events, concerts and more… Below is the schedule of the Tercentenary Grand Celebration of Our Lady of Peñafrancia.
