  • MINOR BASILICA of OUR LADY of the ROSARY of MANAOAG Manaoag, Pangasinan 2430 Philippines
    MINOR BASILICA OF OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY OF MANAOAG Manaoag, Pangasinan 2430 Philippines April 16, 2020 His Excellency, The Most Reverend Socrates B. Villegas Archbishop of Lingayen Dagupan Dear Archbishop Soc, Happy Fiesta! This pandemic has disrupted many aspects of our lives. While it presses to test our resiliency and strength of character, our community at Minor Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag continues to innovate ways to meaningfully sustain our traditions. For this reason, we are happy to inform you that we plan to continue with the Misa de Gracia practice, albeit with modifications. Herewith is the content of the letter we intend to communicate to Parish Priests of ALD. Apo Baket and Misa De Gracia: Testament to Unending Grace and Manifestation of eternal gratitude Misa de Gracia literally means thanksgiving mass. In Pangasinan, Philippines, particularly in the Archdiocese of Lingayen Dagupan, this tradition is an annual act of communal thanksgiving for all the graces received through the intercession of Apo Baket. Celebrated during the month of May, parishes organize a pilgrimage of their parishioners to the Minor Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag and culminates in a mass presided by their respective Parish Priests. The month of May is traditionally known as “Mary’s Month” and in the Philippines, this is also typically the harvest season. Hence, the connection between harvest and thanksgiving (harvest offering) underpins the meaning of Misa de Gracia. Although, agricultural in its beginnings, Misa de Gracia is a communal thanksgiving mass for all the graces that devotees of Apo Baket receive from God through her maternal intercession.
