𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗬 | 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗘𝗠𝗡 𝗙𝗢𝗢𝗧 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗠𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗬

On September 6, 2026, with hearts united in faith, devotion, and service, the scouts of the 𝕲𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖉 𝕮𝖔𝖚𝖓𝖈𝖎𝖑 𝖔𝖋 𝕻𝖆𝖑𝖆𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖘 joined thousands of Marian devotees in the 41𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐲, a solemn foot procession in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, journeying from the 𝑪𝒆𝒃𝒖 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑪𝒂𝒑𝒊𝒕𝒐𝒍 to 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒛𝒂 𝑰𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒂.

The occasion was also part of the Marian Summit of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines – Cebu Council Catholic Committee, gathering Scouts in a meaningful celebration of faith, Marian devotion, fellowship, and service.

With every step, we offered a prayer.
With every mile, we renewed our devotion.
And with every moment, we were reminded of Mary’s unwavering faith, humility, and love.

As we celebrate today, September 8, the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we look back with gratitude on this sacred journey and the opportunity to walk alongside our fellow Scouts and devotees in her honor. May the celebration of Mary's birth remind us of the beautiful role she embraced in salvation history and inspire us to follow her example of faith, humility, obedience, and loving service. 🌹

May this sacred journey draw us closer to our Blessed Mother and, through her intercession, ever closer to her Son, Jesus Christ. ✨

Upon reaching Plaza Independencia, the faithful gathered as one community of faith for the celebration of the Holy Mass, presided over by 𝑯𝒊𝒔 𝑬𝒙𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒚, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝑨𝒓𝒄𝒉𝒃𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒑 𝑨𝒍𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒐 “𝑨𝒃𝒆𝒕” 𝑼𝒚, Metropolitan Archbishop of Cebu.

🛡️ IN FAITH, WE WALK.
IN SERVICE, WE STAND.

In collaboration with the Paladins - Emergency Service Corps, our Paladins-ESC stood ready to assist for any incident at any moment.

Through vigilance, compassion, discipline, and selfless service, we helped ensure that every pilgrim could walk, pray, and celebrate in safety, peace, and dignity.

For the Paladin, service is more than a duty; it is a mission of love.

As we honor the birth of our Blessed Mother today, may we continue to carry her example in our own lives: to walk with faith, to serve with humility, and to become instruments of Christ’s peace and love wherever we are called to serve.

🌹 HAPPY NATIVITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY!
