NOTRE DAME DAY - BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

Remembering Notre Dame Day, the birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary every 8^th day of September. As a product of Notre Dame School we celebrated this day with liturgical mass at Immaculate Conception Cathedral. Catholic students usually form a line from Notre Dame of Cotabato Boys’ Department now Notre Dame of Cotabato to ICC (a parade of student) hehehe…

I believed until now every student celebrates the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Happy Birthday!!!

 

Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
