A night of music and a Holy Mass will be held to conclude the two-month pilgrimage season in Antipolo City on Tuesday, July 4. On the eve of July 4, a night of music at the International Shrine of the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage (known as the Antipolo Cathedral in Antipolo City), will happen with a concert, dubbed as “Laudate Mariam- Awit Pasasalamat Handog Ng Mga Antipoleńo Sa Mahal Na Birhen ng Antipolo” at 8 p.m. On July 4, a Eucharistic celebration will be offered at the cathedral in honor of the city’s patroness, Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage (Nuestra Seńora Dela Paz Y Buenviaje) at 4 p.m. The Holy Mass will gather the priests and some parishioners of all the shrines under the Diocese of Antipolo, along with pilgrims and devotees of all the patron saints of the parishes in the diocese located in Marikina City and the entire Rizal Province. Following the Mass, a grand procession of the original pilgrim image from each of the shrines will join the original image of the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage in the activities in the vicinity of Antipolo’s international shrine starting at 5 p.m. Fr. Reynante Tolentino, shrine rector of Antipolo’s international shrine and who also heads the Association of Catholic Shrines and Pilgrimages of the Philippines, said thousands of devotees are expected to participate in the culminating activities for the closing of this year’s pilgrimage season. At 3 p.m., devotees will pray the Holy Rosary and Novena. The parishioners from each of the shrines carrying the image of their patron saints will converge at their respective parish churches before proceeding to the Antipolo Cathedral either in a motorcade or a procession in time for the 4 p.m. Holy Mass and later, the grand procession, which officially culminates the pilgrimage season, or the so-called “Ahunan Sa Antipolo” (Going-Up to Antipolo). During Jose Rizal's 162nd birth anniversary, the city’s international shrine also commemorated the yearly pilgrimage of the national hero and his father that happened during their time as part of their devotion to the Antipolo’s Virgin. In the commemoration event on June 19, a priest from San Isidro Labrador Parish in Makiling, Laguna, Fr. Francis Eugene A. Fadul, recited in Spanish and Filipino the poem “A La Virgen De Antipolo” which was written by Dr. Rizal himself as an expression of his and his family’s devotion to the “Virgin of Antipolo”.

The annual summertime to July pilgrimage became the inspiration of the iconic song, Tayo Na Sa Antipolo, a composition of German San Jose (Gerry Brandy) in 1929. The centuries-old image was brought to the country from Acapulco in Mexico in 1626 aboard the galleon El Almirante by Governor General Juan Nińo de Tabora. The title of the image was drawn from the galleon’s safe voyages across the Pacific Ocean.
