In a heartwarming tribute to the legacy of Horacio and Anita Guanzon, the Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto Shrine in San Jose Del Monte City, Bulacan, became a beacon of joy and devotion as their heirs, Teresita Guanzon Velasco, Rosalinda Guanzon Antiporda, Concepcion “Connie” Guanzon Garcia and her husband, Ambassador Victor Garcia III, led a solemn celebration at the shrine.
The meaningful event was graced by the Bishop of the Diocese of Malolos Dennis Villarojo, DD, together with nine priests from various parishes, and welcomed devotees from diverse backgrounds, all drawn to the sacred space constructed by the Guanzon couple.

In his touching homily, Bishop Villarojo emphasized the shrine’s significance as a place of solace and healing, echoing the Guanzons’ vision of replicating the sanctity of the Lourdes Shrine in France.
