Maria Auxiliadora

Commission on Cultural Heritage of Santa Ana Pampanga strikes 2!

After the success transfer of the original stations of the cross to the hands of CCHSAP, here's another church artifact at our hands. The old Image of Mary Help of Christians (Maria Auxiliadora) last seen at the baptistry. The transfer of the stations led us to the inventory of the remaining artifacts we could reclaim. The Image came across the brainstorming, one of us still reminded of how the Image features. Being formerly a COMI their devotions to Marian Images still completes of his memory of the past which includes the Image. We rendered to the parish priest our advocacy to reclaim what the church originally posses'. The brother of Arch. Paciano B. Aniceto claims; the Image was lend as favored by then the parish priest of Camba Arayat Pampanga (Fr. Homer Policarpio) in 2001. For 6 years they took care of the Image, last saturday (September 15, 2007) we, together with John Paul Canlas and Richard Soriano went there for a visit. The Image was in good condition nd returned for the report. We went back the next day morning now with Regette Ryan Ramos and Joy Mendoza for the talk. With no regrets the Image is freely turned over. Restorations are now at hand, if only the CCHSAP has the budget for these items were more than the ordinary.

Trivia;
There was an encraved writen at the Image based dated Nov 83, this might be the date it was encrna.
