On January 7, 2025, Balilihan Mayor Pureza Veloso-Chatto (4th from right) and Vice Mayor Trisha Chatto (3rd from right) said: “Balilihan and parishioners of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church are blessed with the declaration of our church as Pilgrim Church – one of 8 jubilee churches or pilgrimage sites in the Diocese of Tagbilaran. Prior to the Pontifical Mass officiated by Bishop Abet Uy (center), the Holy Door was opened for the entire Jubilee year for the faithful to enter – symbolic of one’s passing into the presence of God and the reparation of sins.” Contributed photo
