Miraculous Medal at Project 4

My family and I have been part of this parish ever since we moved here in the early eighties. It has been a large part of my growing up, having been a member and eventually the parish Chairman of the Legion of Mary. I almost stopped going to mass there though when the new parish priest was someone I didn't quite share principles with. The next parish priest (the one before this current one) was not as inviting, in my opinion- I didn't like to hear about the intimate affair between religion and politics.

St. Rita Shrine at PhilamHomes QC

A nice little Church inside a subdivision in QuezonCity... The sermon was a little sleep-inducing though. A celebrity couple was spotted- a week later they were rumored to have separated. One thing I thought was quirky (but I guess it's pretty usual nowadays) is that one whole side outside of the Church was lined by stalls you'd normally find in Greenhills. Yes, it was a veritable tiangge with everything you could look for -- pirated music, videos, clothing, bags, slippers, religious items, and street snacks.
