Calungsod off to Panay, Romblon for Duaw Nasud II

ALMOST five months since its last sojourn, the image of the second Filipino saint will be brought to Ilo-ilo City by sea for the second leg of the Duaw Nasud. A send off Mass will be celebrated at the San Pedro Calungsod Shrine along D. Jakosalem Street in Cebu City at 4 p.m. today. After the Eucharistic celebration, a motorcade will bring Calungsod's image to a Cebu City pier where the vessel that would carry the sacred icon to Ilo-Ilo awaits. Fr. Charles Jayme, the official custodian of the image, said the Church would want to perpetuate Calungsod's memory. “This (Duaw Nasud) is our continued propagation of the devotion to San Pedro Calungsod,” he said in a text message to Cebu Daily News. For 11 days, the image of San Pedro Calungsod will travel again to different churches in Panay and Romblon slands. It will be brought back to Cebu on May 10./UP-Cebu Intern Apple Mae Ta-as
