| The Archbishop celebrates Mass at the Cotta on Sunday and Thursday
afternoons. This is for the purpose that we be rooted to our past and
preserve our identity as a local Church. |
| Our devotion traces its history
back to 1756 when the Jesuit Missionaries brought from Spain a statuette of the
Immaculate Conception and placed it in the chapel of the Cotta built. |
 Around
the year 1758 an image of the statuette was etched into the wall of the Cotta which the
people started and continue to venerate.
Officially named Nuestra
Señora de la Inmaculada Concepción y del Triunfo de la Cruz de Migpangi,
they call it Ang among Pinangga nga Birhen sa Cotta.
|
| The devotion was encouraged by
our Archbishop and is now the task of the Apostolado
sa Birhen sa Cotta. |
| The people used to pray the Novena
in the old way. |
| In 1997 the Archbishop devised a New
Novena more in keeping with the Reform of the Liturgy. |
