Devotees will celebrate Tuesday, Aug. 10, the feast day of Our Lady of Buen Suceso (Our Lady of the Good Event), the revered patroness of the city of Paranaque.

Papal Nuncio Archbishop Charles John Brown will celebrate a high mass in her honor at 6 p.m. at the St. Andrews Cathedral in Paranaque City. The faithful are invited to join the Holy Mass online. The Diocese of Paranaque will not hold public masses until Aug. 20.
An online Marian symposium was held last August 7 in preparation for the event, Novena masses in commemoration of the 396th anniversary of the enthronement of the image of Our Lady of Buen Suceso were held from Aug. 1 to 9.
The venerated wooden image of the Madonna and Child was enthroned at the St. Andrew’s Cathedral in 1625.
Devotion to Our Lady of Buen Suceso is actively being promoted by the diocese. Before the pandemic, a perpetual novena to Our Lady was held every Saturday at 6 a.m., 12 noon, and at 6 p.m. at the cathedral. Masses for overseas Filipino workers and seafarers were held every second Saturday of the month, families in crisis every third Saturday, and the youth every fourth Saturday of the month.
Then Pope now Saint John Paul II granted the canonical coronation of the miraculous image as the patroness of the City of Paranaque on Sept. 8, 2000.
