The Archdiocese of Manila marked the the 94th birthday of the late Jaime L. Cardinal Sin on Wednesday, Aug. 31.
In a Facebook post, the archdiocese prayed for the Archbishop-Emeritus of Manila.
"Eternal rest grant unto the soul of Cardinal Sin, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace. Amen," read the post.
It was on June 21, 2005 when the well-loved Sin died due to multiple organ failure. He died two months before his 77th birthday.
During his 29-year pastoral stewardship as Archbishop of Manila, he was able to erect 109 parishes, in 17 cities and municipalities in Metro Manila with a Catholic population of almost 12 million.
He also ordained 530 priests and was principal consecrator for 15 bishops.
At the time of his retirement in 2003 on reaching his 75th birthday as mandated by Canon Law, the archdiocese had been divided and given rise to five new dioceses, namely, Cubao, Pasig, Parañaque, Kalookan and Novaliches.
