Our ministry was born from a deep desire to find a permanent spiritual home. After several years of moving between parishes and navigating the long silence of the pandemic, our community found its spark again in early 2025 with the arrival of Father Joeven Matugas at the Shrine.

Through the “Bayanihan” spirit of several local families—including the Tarins, Kutzkos, and Rosalans—what began as a shared dream quickly became a weekly reality. Together, we have transformed the Shrine into a regional hub where Filipinos from across Massachusetts and beyond can reconnect with their roots.
