The friars of the Dominican Province of the Philippines celebrates the Centennial Celebration of the Canonical Coronation of the miraculous image of Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag, Pangasinan - a hundred years of grace, devotion, and maternal protection.

One hundred years ago, through the authority of the Holy See and the loving faith of countless devotees, the image of our Blessed Mother was solemnly crowned as Queen and Mother of her faithful children. Generations of pilgrims have journeyed to her shrine in Manaoag seeking comfort, healing, guidance, thanksgiving, and hope.

This centennial celebration is not only a remembrance of a historic event, but a joyful proclamation that the love of Mary continues to reign in the hearts of her people. She remains the compassionate Mother who calls her children closer to Christ, her Son.

From every province, parish, and family devoted to her holy name, we raise our voices in gratitude for the blessings received through the years. In times of trial and triumph, she has been a refuge and intercessor for the Filipino faithful and for all who come to her sacred home.

As we honor this milestone, may we renew our devotion to the Holy Rosary, deepen our faith in Her Son, Jesus Christ, and imitate the humility, obedience, and charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

In a world torn by conflict and division, the Order will continue to labor for reconciliation led by Pope Leo XIV and to advance dialogue guided by the light of truth and the Gospel. Let us never tire of proclaiming the peace of the Risen Christ together.”
