2015 Pilgrimage #1: Sanctuary of the Holy Cross, Monasterio de Tarlac
March 15, 2015 At 6AM on Sunday, hubby and moi along with some of our neighbors went to San Jose, Tarlac to visit the Sanctuary of the Holy Cross, Monasterio de Tarlac. Road signs leading to Monasterio de Tarlac Kuya Emer on the driver's seat... It was a scenic ride from our place in Bataan via Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), we exited at Luisita and pass thru Capas, Tarlac to reach our destination. We arrived at the Monasterio a little over 2 hours. It took us exactly 2 hours and 7 minutes via SCTEX. Thanks to expressways, we had enough time to spare for breakfast and sightseeing.

The mass was scheduled at 10AM. The Chapel where the mass is going to be held During the solemn mass... Lining up to touch the Relic of the Holy Cross after...
