The community’s own remedy

At a meeting last night, someone from Fairview asked me where I live. When he learned that I live in Don Enrique Heights, his eyes lit up.

“Your subdivision is a beautiful place,” he gushed. “It’s small, but very well kept.”

He went on to describe the chapel. “It’s so big and beautiful that you would think it was the parish church,” he continued. “It’s hard to believe it’s just a chapel.”

I could not help but smile upon hearing this. It wasn’t the first time I had heard people describe our chapel this way. They may find it even harder to believe that it was such a tiny structure years ago, renovated recently to keep up with the growing community.

Dedicated to Our Lady of Remedies, the chapel stands as a reminder of the community’s love, cooperation, and tireless efforts. Hopefully this blog will soon include a history of the chapel and of Our Lady of Remedies.

The centuries-old shrines and churches in honor of Our Lady of Remedies — in Sri Lanka and in Mexico, for instance — are surrounded by stories of miracles and healing. I have no doubt that Our Lady of Remedies will continue to manifest Her Healing Love to and within our community as well.
