Candles of Manaog Cathedral

Last 19 April 2019, The Steps Of Our Lives brought our family

the The Minor Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag.

This is our second family pilgrimage to this renowned church.

We first visited a few years ago when we came down from Baguio City. Back then, Lolo Popcy and Lola Mamsit, and Lola Meya were with us, together with Manny and Vangie and their sons.

The basilica is under the administration of the Order of Preachers or OP. 

Or the Dominicans. 

I really don't know what Rafa and Angel prayed for 

as they lit their own candles 

but I am sure these candles will brighten the path of the Steps Of Our Lives.

Palilio and Velez Steps Around Manaoag Church

Back In San Fabian, Pangasinan

Yes, we were in San Fabian, Pangasinan this April for our annual summer beach road trip. And this time, the Macaso Family (Edmund, Ofie and their daughter, Cesca) and the Palilio Family (Viboy, Ana and Santi) joined us for a few days at the beach.

The Garcia cousins first visited the beaches of San Fabian back in the 70s. I am searching for old photos from this summer outing. But for now, all I have are memories.
